Na een botsing met een komeet vliegt een acht kilometer grote asteroïde recht op de aarde af. Omdat inslag het einde van de mensheid zou kunnen betekenen, wil de NASA het illegale wapensatelliet Hercules inzetten, maar gebrek aan vuurkracht maakt dat onmogelijk. Aangezien de Russische overheid eenzelfde satelliet bezit, is samenwerking met hen de enige mogelijke oplossing.
Nee, helaas is Meteor nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
