Somewhere in the far reaches
of space a comet swings in its
lonely orbit around the sun. It's
no danger to anyone...until it
sends a gigantic meteor on col-
lision course with our world.
Impossible? Don't bet on it. In
1937, an asteroid came within
194,000 miles of earth closer
than our moon. And the impact
of a body that size would make
all the earthquakes, hurricanes and floods on record look like small potatoes.
Meteor is the thrilling tale of mankind's battle to prevent this catastrophe from
happening. There's one slim chance to avert disaster- but it means coopera-
tion between the U.S. and the Soviet Union...and neither side will trust the
other.
Sean Connery heads an all-star cast including Karl Malden, Martin Landau,
Trevor Howard, Henry Fonda and Brian Keith. And Natalie Wood (born Natasha
Zacharenko) uses her childhood knowledge of Russian in the role of an
interpreter.
Meteor fragments begin to rain down upon Earth. One hits the Alps, triggering
an avalanche. Another plunges into the Pacific, sending a 100-foot wall of
water towards Hong Kong. And the largest fragment of all is headed directly
for New York City.
The pace is fast, the special effects are fantastic-but the message is sobering.
The nations of the earth had better get their act together. Because some day,
we may have a close encounter that's too close for comfort!
