Meteor 1979 Watch Free

Meteor Watch Free

After the asteroid Orpheus in the Asteroid Belt is hit by a comet, dozens of asteroid fragments are sent on a collision course with Earth, along with a five-mile-wide fragment that will cause an extinction-level event.

Government Response to the Threat

While the United States government engages in political maneuvering, the smaller asteroid fragments preceding the main body wreak havoc on the planet, revealing the threat.

Use of Orbital Weapons

The United States has a secret orbiting nuclear missile platform satellite named Hercules that was designed by Dr. Paul Bradley. It was intended to defend Earth against a threat like Orpheus, but instead was commandeered by the U.S. Armed Forces to become an orbiting weapon now aimed at the Soviet Union.

After many calculations, it is determined that the fourteen nuclear missiles on board Hercules are not enough to stop the asteroid.

International Cooperation

The United States has known that the Soviet Union also has a similar weapons satellite in orbit called Peter the Great, with its sixteen nuclear warheads pointed at the United States. Needing the additional firepower to stop Orpheus, the President goes on national television and reveals the existence of Hercules, explaining it was created to meet the threat that Orpheus represents.

He also offers the Soviets a chance to save face by announcing that they had the same program and their own satellite weapon. To coordinate the counter-effort between the two countries, Bradley requests a Soviet scientist named Dr. Alexei Dubov.

Joint Efforts to Save Earth

Meanwhile, more meteorite fragments strike Earth, causing great damage worldwide. Both satellites are coordinated and turned toward the incoming large asteroid as smaller fragments continue to strike the planet.

With hours remaining until Orpheus’ impact, the missiles from both satellites are launched in a coordinated effort to destroy the asteroid and save Earth.

The Final Showdown

As the missiles reach the meteoroid, waves of explosions occur, ultimately obliterating the asteroid. The threat to Earth is eliminated, and the survivors celebrate the success of the mission.

Later, at an airport, Dubov, Tatiana, Bradley, and others exchange goodbyes before Dubov and Tatiana depart on a plane for the Soviet Union.
