Repeated natural disasters on Earth lead authorities to look into outer space to find a cause, and send Commander Rod Jackson, who discovers a giant asteroid is to blame.
This is another sci-fi effort from Italian director Antonio Margheriti (credited as Anthony Dawson), and he makes good use of costumes, settings, and special effects from his previous films, such as Assignment: Outer Space and The Wild Wild Planet. Focusing as much on the strain on Commander Jackson's crew, and the women he's involved with as the actual mission to save the Earth, there's no time to explore the origins or intelligence behind the rogue asteroid, and once they land on the asteroid, what they find seems all too similar to Margheriti's Battle Of The Worlds. So this was a bit too much of a retread for me, with not enough original ideas to sustain my interest.
