| Summary |
For mechanic Larry Stilson and his wife Carmel, a weekend in paradise turns into their most horrifying nightmare. At their retreat in an isolated mountain valley, they are confronted by Heinrich, the victim of a deadly nuclear spill who is in the throes of a horrifying radiation death. A top-secret government security team moves in with an army of vicious decontamination workers to seal off the valley, forcing Larry and Carmel to attempt a daring high-speed escape... But can the radioactive waste be contained? Boasting high-octane car chases, spectacular stunts staged by George Miller and appearances from the stars of that film, THE CHAIN REACTION is a slick, futuristic action thriller that hurls you into the nightmarish world of terror and nuclear holocaust. Nominated for six awards, including Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Lorna Lesley) and Best Achievement in Cinematography at the **Australian Film Institute Awards.** |
