"More frightening than a horror movie…from director Mike Nichols and writer Nora Ephron with Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell, Cher, plus a fabulous ensemble cast all at the top of their game in this 1983 true thriller. Karen Silkwood was a whistle-blower at a nuclear power plant in Oklahoma during the early 1970’s, whose death was under mysterious circumstances. Her life portrayed in the movie is relatively tragic as well. This is coming up on the 50th anniversary of her death. A powerful story definitely worth watching. Streaming now on Hulu."
