Storyline
| Plot Summary |
An asteroid hits the Moon, causing fissures in its crust and sends a chunk hurtling toward Earth. Even worse is the threat that larger pieces will break off which could obliterate whole cities on impact. With the Moon out of sync, strange weather and huge tidal waves are threatening the population. Scientists conclude the only solution is to set nuclear charges on the Moon to implode it and keep it whole. The man for the job is demolitions expert, John Redding. Can he succeed in placing the charges correctly before an even larger piece threatens civilization? |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The "T-scale" referred to in the film is most likely a reference to the real-life Torino scale, which is used to determine the risk of an object impacting the Earth based on its trajectory and size. See more » |
| Goofs | Space flight command rooms do not rely on municipal sources for power. They have multiply redundant independent generators to prevent the kinds of power outages that occur several times in the film. This also goes for the communications equipment. See more » |
