The Soviets and Americans combine forces to save the world from a meteor in this science fiction disaster adventure. Bradley (
Sean Connery) is an American scientist who teams up with Dubov (
Brian Keith), and his translator-assistant Tatiana (
Natalie Wood) later falls in love with Bradley. Hong Kong and New York are hit hard by tidal waves as the scientists race against time to prevent global disaster. Although a fine cast is assembled, nobody stands out, and the real star of the film is the special effects. This 18-million-dollar feature faced real economic disaster at the box office, although four engineers received an Oscar nomination for "Best Sound" for this forgettable film. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
