Details

Fuming over the departure of his wife Vivian and the cutting of his research funding, crazy nuclear scientist Rogers Henry constructs Medusa, a thermonuclear bomb capable of generating a continent-sized electro-magnetic pulse; such EMP could effectively destroy a computer-based society. He dupes Vivian into bringing it to the Pentagon to exact his final revenge on the government, rigging it so it will explode before its count-down if Vivian's pacemaker isn't within fifteen feet of it. Medusa arms itself in the air aboard Scott Nash's 737 cargo plane, and with Hurricane Sigrid about to hit the coast, nobody wants to let them land. Based on the novel by John J. Nance.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
JMPACHECO Very good mini series, what a shame it is only for television audiences. Will love to have it on DVD. The plot is excellent. As the other movie from John Nance (Pandora's Clock) this one doesn't stay behind and for sure hits the spot light.What ever rights habe ABC on this series, this one should be on VHS and DVD right away, all audiences have the right for it !!!Juan Pacheco
chrnaess Medusas Child reminded me of why i watch movies in the first place, after so many mediocre and boring movies, this one was really quite special. Director Larry Shaw and everyone in the crew set a standard for those big time directors who surely are beaten by this superior thriller.The film had everything to offer, great suspense and intensity all throughout the 2h50min. It had fine performances from it`s entire cast, Spano, Sheen and Loughlin was especially fine and so was the extremely beautiful Gail 0`Grady, her beauty shines every time.This film is so good all the way through it surpasses Executive Decision(1996) in every aspect and I think that is a superior film as well.
id247 Nice to see a tv movie that can actually generate suspense and tension rather than make you reach for the remote in boredom.Some decent acting, plenty of sharp dialogue, with kudos to Chris Noth, Martin Sheen and Vincent Spano.I don't generally give tv movies the time of day, but this grabbed my interest and held me there for three hours solid. It was great to see it all in one go with no commercial breaks, the time really did fly by - pardon the pun!Despite one or two moments that stretch the plausibility factor, if you like a good political thriller, this is definitely worthy of your time.
dottie-2 I really liked this movie. Even though they changed a few things from the book, they kept the suspense up and running. The casting was perfect and well acted. Especially Vincent Spano as the Captain. I would recommend this film to anyone, and I will buy a copy of the video when it is available.
