Its release has had a coincidental, yet tremendous influence in the way electricity is produced to this day.  It was released 12 days before the 3-mile island incident.  Needless to say, it fed the hysteria surrounding nuclear energy.

This film is 34 years old:

• Jane Fonda's character is forever hit on, in and out of the workplace.  It kind of reminded me of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Men openly behave like pigs.   
• Michael Douglas was creepy even back then.  His hair rivals the leading lady's.
• Jane Fonda's answering machine is larger than a few of my outdated PCs.

It is on itself a good movie, and it managed to keep my interest for the entire 123 minutes.  It is worth watching.
