Intrepid reporter Kimberley Wells (Jane Fonda) and her crew, notably her terribly hirsute cameraman Richard (Michael Douglas), are in the observation area of the Ventana Nuclear Plant during a near accident, which is covered up. Shift manager Jack Godell (Jack Lemmon) is eventually convinced to testify, but vast sums of money are at stake.

While very, very dated, it's so 70s that it works now as a period piece. It's a good story and Lemmon is excellent.
