May 8 1998 

DEEP IMPACT opens. Directed by Mimi Leder. Written by Bruce Joel Rubin and Michael Tolkin. The better of the year's two dueling comet-on-a-collision-course-with-Earth disaster epics (see Armageddon) keeps the obligatory CGI at arm's length while POTUS Morgan Freeman and astronaut Robert Duvall plot a survival course. With Tea Leoni and Elijah Wood.
