This sci-fi thriller finds the world in imminent danger when a collision in outer space sends huge pieces of interstellar debris on a path headed straight for Earth. A scientist has designed a system that would stop the largest meteor fragments from striking the earth, but a fanatical religious cult have made it their business to stop him. A convicted murderer (Ice-T) with ties to the group must now join forces with an FBI agent (Suzy Amis) to free the scientist from the cult's clutches and prevent millions of needless deaths. Mario Van Peebles and Linden Ashby appear in supporting roles

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This came out the same year as Deep Impact and Armageddon, making 1999 the year humanity apparently needed THREE meteor extinction movies.
Ice-T was simultaneously doing this and starring on Law & Order: SVU, proving his range stretched from 'cop' to 'cop who fights meteats while handcuffed to an FBI agent.'
