A film screening of the 1979 classic disaster-thriller The China Syndrome (starring Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon, and Michael Douglas) accompanied by members of Symphony New Brunswick and Resonance New Music performing an original score, composed by New Brunswick’s Andrew Reed Miller.
About the film: A news reporter (Jane Fonda) and her cameraman (Michael Douglas) are unintentional witnesses to a SCRAM incident, an emergency core shutdown procedure at a nuclear power plant in California. The crew prevents a catastrophe, but the plant supervisor (Jack Lemmon) begins to suspect the plant is in violation of safety standards and tries desperately to bring it to the attention of the public, fearing that another SCRAM incident will produce an atomic disaster.
The China Syndrome (1979) is rated PG.
Thanks to our performance partners, Symphony New Brunswick and Resonance New Music.
