Superblock or partition table is corrupt

As I boot my Ubuntu system, I eventually get this error on a 500gb disk I
recently installed to archive my collection of movie ISOs:

 

  /dev/sda1: clean, 93441/61063168 files, 92620501/122096000 blocks

  Movies: The filesystem (according to the superblock) is 122096000 blocks

  The physical size of the device is 97677200 blocks

  Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!

Movies: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY, RUN fsck MANUALLY

 

It's not obvious to me, from checking out -help for fsck, how I address this
device size issue.

 

Any help or pointers to a newbie page would be appreciated.
