A busted water pipe sends steam into the containment room of a nuclear reactor. That in turn sets of a series of events that makes the central computer observing the status of all the country's reactors,believe that the entire system may be at the mercy of saboteurs and so shuts down all access to the plant.

Brolin and Weisch are tasked with trying to discover whether this is an accident or sabotage from within.

Brilliant performances from the leads in William Devane as Frank Brolin and Michael Brandon as Carl Weisch. Ralph Wait as the 'By the book' Commander Henry Stone are the main characters but it has to be said an excellent support cast fulfill their roles well.

OH boy does this take me back!!! I was ten years old when this was shown in England. I was very keen on science fiction at the time. So re-runs of TIME TUNNEL, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE and THE INVISIBLE MAN were truly compulsive viewing! Of course, everything about it screams the 1970's. From the fashions to the scientific wishful thinking of the age. But the cast do a pretty good job with the story lines despite the lack of depth. The sets and scenes are pretty good as is the accompanying music. Not something you can say of many other television series of the time. The only question for me was why did they not make more of them? For those interested. Recently found it on Amazon. Four discs from NBC Universal. Unfortunately, only available in the U.S disc format.
