A defunct Russian satellite is destroyed in orbit and its debris threatens astronauts upgrading Hubble and the Chinese space station located in a similar orbit.

It’s scary how accurate the plot is to the real-world situation…

Well, in reality all those are in very different orbits, especially the Hubble at 600+ km up. And ISS and the Chinese space stations have very different orbit inclination, mainly due to lauch corridor concerns.
