I love stories that are bigger than life, says producer Jerry Bruckheimer, especially when the plot is multi-layered, as this one is. ‘Armageddon’ isn’t just about an asteroid heading for earth with the potential to destroy it. It’s really a story about individuals who are faced with life and death decisions. It’s also about characters something akin to the Dirty Dozen in outer space. When you throw in great actors like Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler and the rest of our cast, and take them on a wild ride, then you’ve really created an interesting movie.
