Aren't movies about nuclear power plants scary? If you agree, you can probably trace your fear back to the Meryl Streep drama Silkwood, in which she plays a factory worker who gets contaminated with radiation. It's one of those scenes you never forget, when she walks through her daily scanner and sets off the alarm. When she gets scoured and isolated, she knows there's nothing can be done. She's been contaminated.
In the supporting cast are Kurt Russell, Cher, Craig T. Nelson, Fred Ward, and David Strathairn. This is one of those dramas that take you on a mysterious ride as it raises questions it doesn't answer. You'll be frightened, confused, and suspicious, and if you like conspiracy theory movies, you'll love it. It's been compared to Erin Brockovich, which I understand, but don't expect it to be too similar. There's no perky banter to provide comic relief. This one's extremely dark. Meryl does have an adorable haircut, but it does little to cut the peril of her situation.
