The crux of the tale is about a new computer system that has been developed at a nuclear plant, and it does very well until it gets a mind of it's own.
Two people, Linda (Jamie Lunar) and Rusty (Jack Scalia) are trapped inside the power plant with a huge hurricane coming and everything falling apart at one time.
The computer system shuts down the backup system which will prevent a melydown in the core and it refuses to re-boot it. Will everything work out well? You gotta watch it to find out.
I read a lot of bad things about this movie, but figured I'd give it a try anyway since it was a Ray film. I really found nothing wrong with it. I can admit it's not original in any way, shape or form, but I think the cast did very well and Ray did fine in the directing department.
It's also interesting to note that this movie is a reunion between actors Gil Gerard and Erin Gray from the 70's show "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century".
They play executives in California who are not very helpful with the potential trouble ahead. It was nice to see them both on screen together after all these years.
Anyway, you might like this if you give it a chance. I enjoyed it and found it a painless 90 minutes.
