A reporter finds what appears to be a cover-up of safety hazards at a nuclear power plant.
From memory: Solid, if a bit old-fashioned political thriller; suspenseful with a good ensemble, and it manages to deliver its message.
Halliwell***: "Topical thriller-with-a-moral, absorbingly done in the old style but perhaps in the end a shade too hysterical and self-congratulatory."
Maltin****: "Heartpounding drama...is as much a probe of television news as it is a story of nuclear power - and it scores bullseye on both fronts. There is no music score; story tension propels film by itself, along with solid performances by Fonda...,Douglas, and especially Lemmon as dedicated plant exec."
