The film takes place in the United States in what is presumably the present day. A large, colossal asteroid the size of Texas (roughly 600 miles (970Â km) in diameter) is heading towards the Earth, and threatens to wipe out the human race in a manner similar to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Whilst the Earth begins a series of efforts to divert and later destroy the asteroid, two parents â Jason (Rhett Giles) and Ashley (Jill Stapley) â search for their missing child, who is in Los Angeles, while attempting to overcome various catastrophes somehow triggered by the arrival of the meteorite.
Jason and Ashley eventually realize that it is not advanced technology that is required to find their child or divert the asteroid but faith in religion. The daughter is eventually reunited with her father, just at the time the asteroid is about to hit. They tell each other that they will see each other soon, and the film ends with the asteroid colliding with the Earth, destroying all life.
In what city is the missing child supposed to be?
Los Angeles
