The Criterion Collection, a continuing series of important classic and contemporary films, presents
Starring the explosive talents of Bruce Willis, Academy Awardwinners Ben Affleck and Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Steve Buscemi, and Will Patton, ARMAGEDDON is a meteor storm of action-adventure moviemaking that has you on the edge of your seat forgetting to breathe! When NASA’s executive director, Dan Truman (Thornton), realizes the Earth has 18 days before it’s obliterated by a meteor the size of Texas, he has only one option - land a ragtag team of roughneck oil drillers on the asteroid and drop a nuclear warhead into its core. Spectacular special effects, laugh-out-loud humor, great characters, riveting storytelling, and heartfelt emotion make ARMAGEDDON an exhilarating thrill ride you’ll want to experience like there’s no tomorrow.
SPECIAL FEATURES • Director’s Cut with Transfer Supervised by Director Michael Bay • Audio commentary by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Michael Bay, actors Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck • Audio commentary by Cinematographer John Schwartzman, NASA consultant Dr. Joe Allen and asteroid consultant Ivan Bekey
