646f9e108c The USA must join forces with the USSR in order to destroy a gigantic asteroid heading straight for Earth.
After a collision with a comet, a nearly 8km wide piece of the asteroid "Orpheus" is heading toward Earth. If it hits, it will cause an incredible catastrophe which will probably extinguish mankind. To stop the meteor, NASA wants to use the illegal nuclear weapon satellite "Hercules," but soon discovers that it doesn't have enough firepower. Their only chance to save the world is to join forces with the USSR, which has also launched such an illegal satellite. But will both governments agree?
This movie gives credence to the rumors that Natalie Wood&#39;s death was due to suicide. This was not one of her better jobs but she did OK in a horrible story. Fortunatly the careers of Sean Connery and Henry Fonda survived. <br/><br/>Telling moments: 1. Martin Landau telling all how wrong he was. 2. Seeing Karl Malden&#39;s comb-over disappear in a muddy flood in a subway station beneath the East River. 3. I absolutely love Clyde Kusatsu as Yamashiro standing up to the tsunami (called a tidal wave) in the observatory in Hong Kong. He has always been a favorite of mine especially with his spot on John Wayne imitation.<br/><br/>Just about every cliché that could have been written into this script was.
It really isn&#39;t very good, there is no way of getting around the fact that this splendidly cast disaster picture is a ropey looking cheesy piece of cinema. But to pour vitriolic scorn on it like many other IMDb and Amazon reviewers have is going a touch too far, for one thing it&#39;s overlooking the fact that the film does have good points and is not short on bright moments.<br/><br/>Bsically a meteor the size of Brazil (for example) is heading towards Earth and one can safely assume it&#39;s a global killer that will be the dawn of a new ice age. The Americans (bless them) have a nuclear defence weapon in space called Hercules, which apparently was put up there to avert any threat from those pesky Russians. Thinking that Hercules could knock out the meteor before it dooms us all to worm bait, the Americans assemble a cunningly intelligent team to asses the possibility, trouble is is that Hercules doesn&#39;t have enough power for the job. Enter the Russians, who of course have their own nuclear weapon in space (bless them) that really wasn&#39;t put up there to avert any threat from those pesky Yanks, can the might of the East &amp; West unite and save the world?<br/><br/>The effects look dated and weak but it&#39;s still a hell of a lot of fun watching a 1979 disaster film try so hard to entertain us. The film contains an avalanche sequence that is highly entertaining (not intentionally it should be noted!), a sequence of our hardy band of smarties down in the broken sewers is also well worth the wait, and of course the cast is definitely worth an interest. Sean Connery (saying one of the best lines ever written), Karl Malden, Natalie Wood, Martin Landau, Henry Fonda (all too small a role tho), Richard Dysart and Trevor Howard, not bad really. The writing also stands up to scrutiny, a nice line in tension as the Russians and Americans try to come together in spite of mistrust and an unwillingness to show their hands.<br/><br/>All in all it&#39;s one to pass the time of day away with if you aren&#39;t in a particularly demanding mood. 5/10

As the title implies, Meteor is a disaster movie about a meteor about to hit the Earth in seven days. The only way the American experts can think of to stop the meteor is by hitting it with their orbital nuclear missiles, dubbed Hercules, which are currently pointed at the USSR. The problem is that the combined power of the Hercules missiles is not powerful enough to stop the meteor, so the US wants to unite their Hercules missiles with the missiles from the USSR&#39;s secret Peter the Great project, which are currently pointed at the United States. An additional problem is that neither government wants the other government to know that they even have such missiles. Meteor is based on a screenplay by screenwriters Edmund H North and Stanley Mann. However, it was inspired by Project Icarus, a report written by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a hypothetical systems project. The report focused on the concept of using missiles to deflect an asteroid that might become threatening to Earth. The project was described in the June 1967 issue of Time magazine and published as a book, Project Icarus: an MIT Student Project in Systems Engineering, in 1968. The chain of events started when a never-seen-before comet appeared from the other side of the sun and passed through the asteroid belt, hitting a large asteroid known as Orpheus. Orpheus broke into chunks. Several of those chunks started on a trajectory course with the Earth. Most of the pieces were small, but one particular chunk was five miles wide and could do serious damage to the Earth if it hits. This chunk, now known as the Orpheus meteor is projected to hit the Earth in six days. The Russian missiles are launched. While waiting for the 20 minutes to pass until they can launch the American missiles, Dr Bradley (<a href="/name/nm0000125/">Sean Connery</a>) receives a message from Sir Michael Hughes (<a href="/name/nm0002145/">Trevor Howard</a>) in England informing him that another chunk of Orpheus has been spotted heading for New York. Moments after the American missiles are fired, the chunk hits New York, causing massive destruction and destroying the World Trade Center. Because the control center is located in an old subway shaft under the Bell System building, it is not completely destroyed, but the rubble traps the survivors underground. Bradley leads out the survivors through the subway tunnels, enduring muddy water from the East River and breaking through blocked tunnels. When they get almost to the top, they are able to listen to a news broadcast saying that the missiles were successful in breaking up the meteor, just as someone breaks through the last pile of rubble from the outside, freeing them all. In the final scene, Bradley and Harry Sherman (<a href="/name/nm0001500/">Karl Malden</a>) are at the airport, seeing off Tatiana (<a href="/name/nm0000081/">Natalie Wood</a>) and Dubov (<a href="/name/nm0001417/">Brian Keith</a>). Tatiana kisses Bradley. As she boards the plane, Dubov says to her in Russian, &quot;I think you&#39;ll come back one day.&quot; Tatiana replies in Russian, &quot;Perhaps.&quot; Yes. Natalie Wood (born Natalia Nikolaevna Zahkarenko to Russian immigrant parents) spoke fluent Russian, as did Brian Keith.
