this be a disaster movie from director ronald neame ( the poseidon adventure ) and but the real disaster be just how much this film suck . basically a comet or asteroid or meteor ( whatever you want to call it ) be head for a collision for earth and and obviously it could extinguish mankind if it hit . so the authority want to combine the nuclear capability of both theirs and russia fire power to destroy the rock . people involve in the mission and in whatever way and be dr. paul bradley ( sir sean connery ) and tatiana nikolaevna donskaya ( natalie wood ) and nasa harry sherwood ( karl malden ) and dr. alexei dubov ( brian keith ) and maj. gen. adlon ( martin landau ) . also star trevor howard a sir michael hughes and richard dysart a secretary of defense and henry fonda a the president and roger robinson a hunter . what make this film so awful be there be hardly any effort in the acting and well and they keep their face straight . there that ridiculous scene where everyone be get cover in mud in the subway and and all the model rocket and the rock be not convince enough and because you can tell their model and especially with the crappy explosion . just one of the most terrible film i have ever see . it be nominate the oscar for best sound ( it shouldn not have be nominate for any . ) . very poor .
