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 comet-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 were released side by side.
DEEP IMPACT is generally considered to be the more realistic depiction of a comet impacting Earth, and featured performances by actors Robert Duvall (Godfather) and Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings).
