An asteroid fragment "the size of the New Orleans, Louisiana, Superdome" could end all of mankind.

With another asteroid "the size of the state of Texas" en route, a plan is devised to send oil drillers to land on the asteroid. They must drop a nuclear device down a 1000-foot shaft, a scheme calculated to crack the asteroid into two halves, saving Earth.

NASA undertakes a crash program to train beer besotted oil roughnecks for the mission. During a stop over to refuel at the Mir Station, the space station is accidentally destroyed, so a Russian cosmonaut also joins the team. In the end, the men are successful.
