But even as humankind enters  a new golden age, an amateur astronomer points  his telescope at just the right corner of the night  sky and sees disaster hurtling toward Earth: a  chunk of rock that could annihilate civilization.  While a few fanatics welcome the apocalyptic  destruction as a sign from God, the greatest  scientific minds of Earth desperately search for a way to  avoid the inevitable. On board the starship  Goliath Captain Robert Singh and his crew must race  against time to redirect the meteor form its deadly  collision course. Suddenly they find themselves  on the most important mission in human history--a  mission whose success may require the ultimate  sacrifice. 1878679 1993 The Hammer of God total:736|5:107|4:249|3:292|2:80|1:8| 736 2575 927 32 5 0 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 01:30:36 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 01:30:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jul 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 20:03:02 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 20:16:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Thu Jun 11 16:44:19 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 06 10:38:52 -0800 2009 2 Rendezvous with Rama.
