A streaking comet explodes in outer space hurling a five mile wide meteor, and surrounding fragments, on a collision course with Earth. Scientists from both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. work feverishly to redirect their nuclear rockets at the meteor in an effort to deflect it away from Earth. Spectacular effects and a star-studded cast.
