US (1979): Disaster/Science Fiction
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) who 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 (Karl Malden, Martin Landau, Tervor Howard, Richard Dysart, Henry Fonda, Joseph Campanella), nobody stands out, and the real star of the film is the special effects. This forgettable 16-million-dollar feature faced real economic disaster at the box office. (American-International, Palladium/AIP) (Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide)
