OK, so an asteroid is headed for earth and the whiz kids at NASA have run out of ideas on what to do about it. Some genius then decides to drill a hole in the asteroid and drop an atomic bomb in there, blow the whole thing to smitherinees. But who has the knowhow and skill to complete both tasks?? Well, Bruce Willis and his ragtag bunch of oil drill guys, that's who! Doesn't matter they have no clue about atomic weaponry and three days of space training...it will be just like on the rig.
Ben Affleck can play the hotshot young driller who has a beef with Bruce, and seems to take a liking to Bruce's daughter, aka the lead singer of Aerosmith's daughter. Sweet emotion, indeed. But Ben prooves his worth on that asteroid and gets respect from ole Bruce. There's other guys,like 300lb teddy bear Max, who is probably about 150 pounds too big to go in space...same goes for that big black guy. Steve Bushemi has signed a 10 year contract to play crazy, so we'll stick with that. Oh, and it might be bit of a casting stretch, but we got Billy Bob Thornton to play a rocket scientist who was too crippled to ever go in space. Yes, that same Billy Bob...I know, the french fried potaters guy...we'll clean him up.
'Wait, if you blow up an A bomb in an asteroid that close to Earth, won't that still kind of screw things up on our little planet? Where does the debris of this huge asteroid go when it's obliterated?' Don't worry, we've checked with NASA, the general public is too dumb to think about the scientific plausibility of 90% of the movie. Plus, they'll be to worried about the world ending and listening to this ballad from Bruce Willis' daughter's dad that ties the whooole thing together:
