Mimi Leder’s DEEP IMPACT
(PG-13, 1998, 120 min)
A comet is barreling toward Earth, and the clock is ticking down to humanity’s end. Reporter Jenny Lerner (Tea Leoni) uncovers the truth, forcing U.S. President Beck (Morgan Freeman) to announce the plan: a team of astronauts, led by the seasoned Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner (Robert Duvall), will land on the comet and try to blow it off course. Deep Impact isn’t just a disaster flick—it’s a high-stakes ride, loaded with heart, heroism, and those late-’90s thrills. It’s one of those iconic films that defined the decade: a mix of big, emotional moments, an all-star cast, and that perfect combination of hope and dread that made '90s blockbusters unforgettable.
