Plot:	George Miller, director of the "Mad Max" films, produced this clever thriller in between "Mad Max" and "The Road Warrior". An earthquake damages a nuclear waste facility, and an engineer must warn the public while his boss tries to stop him at all costs.
Overview:	"The Chain Reaction", a clever thriller scripted by Ian Barry, tells the story of a dangerous leak caused by an earthquake at WALDO, an Australian storage facility for nuclear waste. Heinrich Schmidt (Ross Thompson), an engineer at the waste site, is badly injured in the disaster; and because he knows the leak will contaminate the water for hundreds of miles, he wants to warn the community. But Schmidt's boss thinks they should cover up the incident--even if it means thousands of lost lives. Having been held at WALDO, Heinrich escapes the compound but crashes his car in his desperation to get away, and he is left wandering in the woods with amnesia. A kind mechanic (Steve Bisley) and his wife take Heinrich in, but now all three of their lives are in danger... Watch for an un-credited appearance of Mel Gibson as a mechanic in the beginning of the film! George Miller, director of the "Mad Max" films, produced this actioner in between "Mad Max" and "The Road Warrior".
