The China Syndrome (1979)


The China Syndrome is a 1979 thriller starring Jack Lemmon as a desperate supervisor of a nuclear power plant who tries to expose its dangers by taking a news reporter hostage. The film's cast included Michael Douglas and Jane Fonda. This film gained more notoriety than usual as it was released just 12 days before the infamous Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident.

The following weapons were used in the film The China Syndrome:


Smith and Wesson Model 10
