The China Syndrome

1970s US thriller starring Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon and Michael Douglas. Struggling TV reporter Kimberly Wells (Fonda) sees an opportunity to break into serious broadcast news after she and her cameraman, Richard Adams (Douglas), witness a near meltdown at the Ventana nuclear power station. But the network refuses to air their report, whilst the plant's bosses will stop at nothing to ensure information on the incident remains undisclosed.

Plant engineer Jack Godell (Lemmon) is determined to expose the cover-up, however, and persuades Kimberley to help him.
