Das China-Syndrom (1979)
Während die Reporter Kimberly und Richard eine Dokumentation im Atomkraftwerk von Los Angeles drehen, passiert ein Zwischenfall. Der Vorfall wird von der Kraftwerksleitung heruntergespielt. Der Ingenieur Jack Godell stellt Schlampereien und Materialfehler fest, doch will ihm niemand zuhören. Enttäuscht und verzweifelt wendet er sich den beiden Reportern zu, die mittlerweile um die Schwere des Zwischenfalls wissen. Als er ihnen wichtige Beweise zukommen lässt, wird er von Killern verfolgt. Jack flüchtet sich ins Kraftwerk, besetzt die Schaltzentrale und sieht nur einen Ausweg …
