PLOT
When a meteor shower destroys the Space Shuttle Atlantis and bombards parts of New York City, NASA discovers a gigantic asteroid will collide with Earth in 18 days, creating another extinction event. With the military, NASA scientists, led by Dan Truman (Billy Bob Thornton) plan to embed a nuclear device hundreds of feet within the asteroid that, when ignited, will split the asteroid in two parts that will both safely fly past the Earth. NASA contacts Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis), considered the best deep-sea oil driller in the world. Harry returns to NASA along with his daughter Grace (Liv Tyler) in order to keep her away from one of his young and more rambunctious drillers, A. J. (Ben Affleck), who has fallen in love with her much to Harry's dismay. Harry and Grace learn of the critical issues of the asteroid, and Harry explains he will need his team members, including A. J. to help advise NASA. Once they have been rounded up, Harry's team offers to help but only after being assured of being rewarded from an esoteric list of demands.
Harry and his team reoutfit the mobile drillers NASA plans to use on the asteroid, and Harry comes to realize that his crew needs to be part of the mission to assure success. NASA puts Harry's crew through a shortened rigorous training schedule. When fragments from the asteroid wipe out Shanghai and Paris, NASA is forced to reveal its plans to the world; they soon launch two military Space Shuttles, Freedom and Independence. Once in orbit, the shuttles dock with a Russian space station manned by Lev Andropov (Peter Stormare) to refuel. A. J. encounters a problem while trying to stop the fuel pumps, and the station is evacuated before it explodes, with Lev and A. J. safely aboard the Independence. The shuttles continue the plan, slingshoting around the Moon in order to land on the backside of the asteroid. However, while traveling through the debris field behind the asteroid, the Independence is punctured by debris and appears to crash onto the asteroid. Grace, watching from NASA headquarters, becomes distraught over A. J.'s apparent death.
Freedom safely lands, though the occupants find that they have overshot their target area and now are facing hard iron plate to drill through. They lose a significant amount of time and spare equipment in their attempt, and then lose their entire driller and another crew member when they strike a gas pocket. When they report their failure to NASA, Harry's team learn that the military had implemented a backup plan of igniting the bomb on the surface of the asteroid regardless of the team's safety. Both Harry and Dan work to disable this option, knowing it would have no effect on the asteroid's path. They all soon discover that A. J., Lev, and "Bear" (Michael Clarke Duncan, another of Harry's crew) made the Independence crash alive, and have driven the other driller to the drilling site. Harry puts his trust in A. J., who is able to drill to the required depth for the charge.
As the asteroid moves dangerously close to the earth, it begins to heat up and make the surface conditions extremely dangerous. When they try to plant the bomb, the triggering mechanism is damaged, and one person will be forced to stay behind to trigger it manually. A. J. draws the short straw, but as he and Harry descend to the air lock, Harry rips the air hose from A. J.'s suit and tells him that he trusts him well enough now to marry Grace and then takes the responsibility of detonating the bomb. Harry contacts Grace and says his last goodbyes, and later recounts his life as the Freedom moves to safe distance, before triggering the bomb (after some difficulty and in the nick of time). The asteroid, as predicted, breaks into two, and both halves miss the Earth. The Freedom lands, and the surviving crew are treated as heroes. At A. J. and Grace's wedding, photos of Harry and the other lost crew members present in memorium.
