The Living Force
Meteor is a 1979 science fiction disaster film directed by Ronald Neame, and starring Sean Connery and Natalie Wood. The film's premise, which follows a group of scientists struggling with Cold War politics after an asteroid is detected to be on a collision course with Earth, was inspired by a 1967 MIT report Project Icarus.[4][5] The screenplay was written by Oscar winner Edmund H. North and Stanley Mann.

Synopsis:
A huge fragment of asteroid, diverted from its orbit by a comet, is heading towards the Earth at a speed of 50 000 km/h.
American scientist Dr Paul Bradley and his associate Harry Sherwood, together with Russian scientist Dr Alexei Dubov and his interpreter Tatiana Nikolaevna Donskaya, struggle against the bureaucracy of the US and USSR governments to implement their plan of action to counter the threat: realign military nuclear rocket launch satellites to point towards the meteor, to prevent the complete destruction of the Earth.

French version

A good old movie, with good actors, and old school special effects.
The time line in this film is very much lacking in our entropic reality.
Our current life film that unfolds a pathological and harmful reality, exceeding the imagination, not in the sense of creation, but rather the opposite.
With faith, knowledge, work, friendship and love, we can imagine and then live our reality more in line with our values as simple and conscientious human beings.
