Armageddon
Armageddon was released in 1998 by Touchstone Pictures and was directed by Michael Bay.
In this film, NASA discovers that there's an asteroid heading straight for earth that's the size of Texas.
If the asteroid were to hit earth, it would result in the end of the world, killing off all the life the planet has. NASA develops the plan to blow the asteroid in two using a remote detonated nuclear bomb, which - if detonated early enough - would cause the two separate halves of the asteroid to pass by earth safely. The drilling aspect of the plan proves difficult to the people at NASA, and so they hunt down the worlds best oil driller, Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) and bring him to the NASA headquarters as a consultant. Under the strict time limitations, Harry decides the best idea is to take his own drilling crew to do the job.
Interesting things about Armageddon;
- Each of the actors in the drill team came up with what they wanted from the government in exchange for saving the world, and Bruce Willis (Harry Stamper) read them for the first time while the camera was rolling.
- Director Michael Bay made a cameo appearance in the film as one of the NASA scientists.
- Armageddon took 8 months to shoot, and the film makes shot 1.3 million feet of film.
- Bruce Willis had a picture of his daughter in front of him to make him cry in the scene where he had to say goodbye to Grace
- Liv Tyler turned down the role of Grace Stamper two times before finally accepting it.
- The cast of Armageddon are the only civilians to ever wear NASA spacesuits which cost over three-million-dollars each
