Deep Impact (movie)

Deep Impact is a 1998 motion picture directed by Mimi Leder starring Téa Leoni, Morgan Freeman, Elijah Wood and Robert Duvall. The inter-related stories of the film describe events which take place surrounding the discovery of a comet named "Wolf-Biederman" due to impact the earth and its subsequent approach to our planet.

A competing "space impact" film, Armageddon, was released at approximately the same time as Deep Impact; this was also during a time when two movies featuring volcanos exploding (Dante's Peak and Volcano) were released side by side. Deep Impact is generally considered to be more realistic than Armageddon, and had a stronger emphasis on the effect on society.
