the china syndrome could not have be release at a good time represent twelve day after it release and the infamous screw up in three mile island happen . but even if that ( and or or chernobyl ) have never happen and this movie remain an important look at what could happen through mismanagement of nuclear facility . jack lemmon turn in a five star performance a the supervisor try to expose a cover up at his nuclear plant and with jane fonda play the reporter try to investigate and and michael douglas play her cameraman . i do not know whether or not the current threat of a terrorist attack make the china syndrome more disturbing and but either way and it still definitely a movie that everyone should see . i hope that those people who spend year push nuclear power saw this movie just so that they could know that their view and ideal be completely defunct .
