Editorial Review: Product Description: A nuclear power executive discovers a dangerous accident and takes action to expose the coever-up in this tense thriller. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 10/26/2004 Starring: Jack Lemmon Wilford Brimley Run time: 122 minutes Rating: Pg Director: James Bridges Amazon.com essential video: James Bridges (Urban Cowboy, Bright Lights, Big City) directed this 1979 film that became a worldwide sensation when, just weeks after its release, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred. Jane Fonda (Klute, Julia) plays a television news reporter who is not taken very seriously until a routine story at the local nuclear power plant leads her to what may be a cover-up of epic proportions. She and her cameraman, played by Michael Douglas (Wall Street, American President), hook up with a whistleblower at the plant, played by Jack Lemmon (Save the Tiger, Missing). Together they try to uncover the dangers lurking beneath the nuclear reactor and avoid being silenced by the business interests behind the plant. Though topical, the film (produced by Douglas) works on its own as a socially conscious thriller that entertains even as it spurs its audience to think. --Robert Lane Average Rating:
 Rating:  - JANE FONDA IN THE SUPERB NUCLEAR THRILLERThe China Syndrome (Special Edition) Yet another movie from my Dad's collection.

That's when I decided to watch it again and focus on the relativity of the story, and that's when I saw it in a whole new light. Sure, `The China Syndrome' is not perfect, but it truly hits its mark on many levels and delivers a finely crafted drama that has resonance even today. So the film revolves around ... Read More Rating: - The China SyndromeThe China Syndrome really is a great movie. Shows you cant believe everything the media says. This thought provoking movie is in the vein of "Silkwood", "Norma Rae" and more recently, "North Country". I cant wait until a movie comes out about the 2008 Presidential Primary race: Hillary Clinton received more votes than any of her rivals, and more votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in History. Rating: - The China Syndrome One of the best movies Ive ever seen! Great cast and Jack Lemon is superb! Browse for similar items by category:
