No, the name of the game there would be gravity. Just imagine

If a brown dwarf came sailing through the solar system, there
wouldn't be a solar system anymore, at least in this configuration.
An encounter between earth and one at the distance of the moon
would (not doing the math here) probably eject us from the solar
system, after cracking the planet apart. *

You can't do the math to get a meaningful answer. It would depend on
the angles and velocity of the approach. Nearly anything could happen

Except what's going to happen in the movie.

We'll have to see. MST3K-ing it ought to be fun.
