Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Heart pounding drama about attempted cover-up of accident at California nuclear plant is as much a probe of television news as it is a story of nuclear power--and it scores bulls eye on both fronts. There is no music score; story tension propels film by itself, along with solid performances by Fonda as TV reporter, Douglas (who also produced film) as radical cameraman, and especially Lemmon as dedicated plant exec. Screenplay by Mike Gray, T. S. Cook, and Bridges.
