Asteroid (film)

Max Jenson ([[Brian Hill (actor)|Brian Hill]]), one of Lily's assistants, informs the group that Helios is getting closer to Earth and that the observatory in [[Mauna Kea Observatories|Mauna Kea, Hawaii]], had picked up some smaller asteroids that the National Observatory cannot see, one of which hit Montana and caused the fire. Lily and Max realize that Helios will hit [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]] within 48 hours. They inform the [[President of the United States|President]], who orders that the city be evacuated. Ultimately, a fragment of Helios strikes a dam, causing flooding the city. Jack drives into the city to rescue two stranded firefighters and a drunk driver who struck their vehicle, gets caught in the flood. He and the firefighters survive, but the drunk driver dies. Jack is then informed by Lily that Eros is, in fact, going to impact Earth.

The U.S. military attempts to destroy Eros using special [[laser]]s mounted on three jet fighter aircraft, but one of the lasers is damaged when the jet carrying it takes off through a [[hurricane]]. After making some last-minute adjustments, the lasers on the other two aircraft are used to seemingly destroy Eros. However, it is discovered that the mission was only partially successful: instead of destroying the asteroid, the lasers broke it into many small yet deadly pieces. The largest fragments of Eros hit [[Dallas]], where Lily's son and father are; they survive the blast and aftershocks Lily searches the devastated city for them. Lily's father ends up trapped in the ruins of the hospital where he worked, while her son wanders off looking for help. Meanwhile, Adam is killed by a refugee while addressing an evacuation camp. Lily locates her father and with the help of nearby firemen, rescues him, but goes on to try to rescue her son. She finally locates the boy in a large impact crater. Jack arrives to help in a helicopter and rescues him. The four return to base where they watch the comet pass by Earth, relieved it won't return to cause trouble for another 4,000 years.
