DESCRIPTION
Armageddon is a 1998 American science fiction disaster, action, drama and romance film directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and released by Disney's Touchstone Pictures. The film follows group of blue-collar deep-core drillers sent by NASA to stop a gigantic asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It features an all-star cast including Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Will Patton, Peter Stormare, Michael Clarke Duncan and Steve Buscemi.Armageddon opened in theaters only two-and-a-half months after a similar impact-based movie, Deep Impact, which starred Morgan Freeman. Astronomers described Deep Impact as being more scientifically accurate,[2] though Armageddon fared better at the box office.[3] Both films were equally received by critics. Armageddon was an international box-office smash, despite mixed to negative reviews from critics. It became the "highest-grossing film of 1998" worldwide, surpassing the Steven Spielberg war epic, Saving Private Ryan.
