Nominated for four Academy Awards® including Best Actor and Actress (Jack Lemmon, Best Actor; Jane Fonda, Best Actress 1979),
The China Syndrome stars Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon and Michael Douglas in the "superbly suspenseful, expertly crafted, entirely riveting" (Richard Schickel,
Time) white-knuckle thriller that famously predicted the Three Mile Island meltdown, a nuclear disaster that occurred just 12 days after the film's theatrical release.
It started as just another assignment. reporter Kimberly Wells (Jane Fonda) and cameraman Richard Adams (Michael Douglas) were covering a daily routine at a Los Angeles power plant when the unthinkable occurred - a nuclear accident that could have wiped out Southern California. And Richard caught it all on tape. When their TV station refuses to air the footage, Wells and Adams recruit plant supervisor Jack Godell (Jack Lemmon) to expose the terrifying truth: the facility is a ticking bomb. but with millions of dollars at stake, company officials cannot let the story break. When the trio attempts to broadcast live from the plant's control room, the utility company does everything in its power to silence Godell permanently, as the world watches.
