Synopsis

Fuming over the departure of his wife Vivian and the cutting of his research funding, crazy nuclear scientist Rogers Henry constructs Medusa, a thermonuclear bomb capable of generating a continent-sized electro-magnetic pulse; such EMP could effectively destroy a computer-based society. He dupes Vivian into bringing it to the Pentagon to exact his final revenge on the government, rigging it so it will explode before its count-down if Vivian's pacemaker isn't within fifteen feet of it. Medusa arms itself in the air aboard Scott Nash's 737 cargo plane, and with Hurricane Sigrid about to hit the coast, nobody wants to let them land. Based on the novel by John J. Nance.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
elskootero Saw this film for the first time about 10 minutes ago and was absolutely FLOORED!!! After the first 20 minutes, I said to myself....EH; Maybe a C+. Then, once Gail O'Grady's character got the thing ( I won't say what) on board and you learn what it is, I upgraded it to a B+. Then, a little more than an hour into it, I shouted aloud, "Eccumenical Effluvia", A+, and by the end, 2 hours later, it's final grade was A+++! Then, I come downstairs to see how much it is on Amazon, But neither they nor anyone else has it out yet!?!? Movie fans, SEE THIS ONE!!!!! It drags a tad in the first 20 minutes, but stay with it! You'll need Kidneys of cast iron... it's that good. You'll be glued to your seat!
rwinbour Loved the really stupid comment about "earth warming causing the present hurricane to have greater power than regular hurricane". Honest to God is there no better talent in writing than to waste it on something so bad?
JMPACHECO Very good mini series, what a shame it is only for television audiences. Will love to have it on DVD. The plot is excellent. As the other movie from John Nance (Pandora's Clock) this one doesn't stay behind and for sure hits the spot light.What ever rights habe ABC on this series, this one should be on VHS and DVD right away, all audiences have the right for it !!!Juan Pacheco
id247 Nice to see a tv movie that can actually generate suspense and tension rather than make you reach for the remote in boredom.Some decent acting, plenty of sharp dialogue, with kudos to Chris Noth, Martin Sheen and Vincent Spano.I don't generally give tv movies the time of day, but this grabbed my interest and held me there for three hours solid. It was great to see it all in one go with no commercial breaks, the time really did fly by - pardon the pun!Despite one or two moments that stretch the plausibility factor, if you like a good political thriller, this is definitely worthy of your time.
