A Fire in the Sky
A slow, earnest disaster drama that builds dread through bureaucracy and denial rather than spectacle. The looming threat feels grim and inevitable, with a dated, talky TV-movie texture.

- The countdown to annihilation has begun... And nothing on earth can stop it!
- Overview
- Astronomers discover a comet that they believe will crash into Phoenix, Arizona. They attempt to warn officials, but without 100% certainty, the governor of Arizona is reticent to cause a panic. Even after a television news reporter discovers the truth and threatens to go live with it, the response is understated enough to doom some residents of Phoenix to certain death.
