A story of love, sacrifice, and the greater good.

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2006)

Armageddon draws tears every time I watch it. A group of miscreants led by Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) go into space to save the planet. They completely disregard the importance of their life in regard to the lives of the other people on Earth. One person, however, stands out and makes the ultimate sacrifice. Harry Stamper sacrifices himself not just for the sake of the planet, but for the sake of the love his daughter, Grace (Liv Tyler) has found with A.J. (Ben Affleck) A.J. drew the short straw and was chosen to sacrifice himself for the people of Earth, but as he is making his way to do so Harry rips A.J.'s oxygen supply and throws him back onto the ship. He tells A.J. to take care of his daughter and he takes the responsibility of saving the planet.
