The China syndrome  Cover Image DVD DVD

The China syndrome / Columbia Pictures presents a Michael Douglas/IPC Films production ; a James Bridges film ; written by Mike Gray & T.S. Cook and James Bridges ; produced by Michael Douglas ; directed by James Bridges.

Summary:

It started as just another assignment. Reporter Kimberly Wells and cameraman Richard Adams were covering the daily routine at an 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 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.
