Harry is the head of a drilling team sent to a meteor which is on a collision course with the Earth. Naturally, everything goes wrong, and one person has to stay behind to set off the nuclear bomb.

After drawing lots, AJ (Ben Affleck) is the one who has to stay behind. Knowing how much AJ loves his daughter (Liv Tyler), Harry follows AJ down the air-lock and forces him back into the ship. After some emotional goodbyes, Harry sets the bomb off right at the last minute. Little pieces of Harry burn up in our atmosphere.

Um, how can you say that this character is "minor" have you not seen the movie?

Maybe it's referring to the little vaporized pieces that burned up in the atmosphere?

I think this needs to be updated to 'Major' too. He is the film's lead after all!
Comment 4 by 'MajorBaxter' (reply to this comment)
Can a death be categorized as both suicide and self-sacrifice, and if so, does this one qualify as both?
