''Quantum Apocalypse'' is a 2010 American television film written by Leigh Scott and directed by Justin Jones.
When a comet suddenly veers off course and crashes into Mars, scientists Trish Zane (Gigi Edgley) and Tom Lively (Collin Galyean) discover that the comet was moved by the gravitational pull of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangelet strangelet]], which is heading for Earth and will destroy the planet in a few days. Scientists around the world scramble for a solution, but to no avail, and the strangelet causes massive destruction as it approaches.
Meanwhile, in the city of Parish, Mayor Ben Marshall (Randy Mulkey), his children Leo (Stuart Lafferty) and Samantha (Jenna Craig), and his new wife Lynne (Stephanie Jacobsen) try to survive the series of disasters. But Ben's autistic brother Terry (Rhett Giles) has an idea that he thinks can save the world.

* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Leo's girlfriend Lindsey (Kristen Quintrall) is a blonde cheerleader whose ex-boyfriend Sean (Kyle Clements) is still obsessed with her.
* NukeEm: The Russian government nukes the north and south poles in order to knock Earth off its orbit to avoid the strangelet. Not only does it not work, it triggers earthquakes and tsunamis that destroy UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity.
