action
The astronomer Dr. Karl Sorenson examines ancient records that warn of an asteroid falling to Earth. Since he is not believed, he persuades some of his followers to occupy a US base with nuclear weapons. The asteroid is to be destroyed with two missiles launched.
The FBI notifies Katherine, Sorenson's daughter, who is also a scientist. She should persuade her father to give up. The US government fears that the Russians could interpret the launch of a missile as an attack.
At first it appears that the asteroid will miss Earth. However, it then collides with a comet and is directed towards Earth. Sorenson launches a rocket, but the power of the warhead is too weak for the asteroid. The Russians are also launching a missile, as it turns out, not against the United States, but to destroy the asteroid. Both missiles reach their target at the same time, the earth is saved.
