Synopsis: The sky is literally falling in this thriller as one of the nation’s leading astronomers, Madison Kelsey believes she is tracking a huge rogue asteroid rocketing toward earth. However, she can’t get anyone in authority to take her seriously because the mysterious asteroid exists only in the mathematical calculations of her computer program and it’s not yet visible. With only hours remaining until probable impact, Madison enlists the aid of discredited former Air-Force Colonel, Richard Donovan. Together they hatch a plan to resurrect a mothballed military laser in order to blast the asteroid out of the sky before it destroys the planet. The only problem with their plan, the laser is under guard in the middle of an Air Force base and the guards have orders to shoot to kill.

Note: Also known as “Force of Impact”. I think there are different versions of this film. I saw pictures on google of Michael Boisvert, with his shirt off and his arm around Antonio Sabato Jr. (who’s dressed in a bathrobe) when Rae Dawn Chong arrives at Dutton’s cabin the first time. The version I saw suggest a romance between Antonio and Rae and the above mentioned scene is missing.
