What are the odds of a comet traveling millions of miles through space making a direct hit on Phoenix Arizona? Merlin Olson saves the day by hiding out in a sleeping bag!
I first watched this movie when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I learned to never leave home without a sleeping bag.
Campy and a bit sleepy. Classic 70's doomsday appeal.
Overall good acting and a healthy number of Hollywood stars.
Special effects were decent for a made for TV movie and to some extent holds up today.
I highly recommend this movie, good 70's film.
