The story

What Is Asteroids: Deadly Impact About?

The premise of Asteroids: Deadly Impact without spoilers.

Every year millions of asteroids and comets—“stray bullets”—cross our skies, with countless meteorites striking Earth. The dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago is linked to a massive impact, and a one‑mile asteroid today would be catastrophic. Geologist Eugene Shoemaker and his wife Carolyn catalogued over 30 comets and hundreds of asteroids, prompting the question of how to defend humanity.
