Chain Reaction
1996, English. Directed by Andrew Davis.
At the University of Chicago, a research team that includes brilliant student machinist Eddie Kasalivich experiences a breakthrough: a stable form of fusion that may lead to a waste-free energy source.

On the run from the FBI, they must recover the technology and exonerate themselves.
