Greg B notes... (The fact that the plants officials were willing to have Jack killed in order to silence him is meant to mirror the mysterious death of Karen Silkwood, who had been working with a reporter about safety irregularities at the nuclear power plant she was employed at when she was killed in a mysterious car accident.

For his role as an anguished engineer in this film, actor Jack Lemmon returned to the kind of dramatic performance that earned him a second Academy Award for his starring role in Save the Tiger (1973). Lemmon's first Oscar win, for Best Supporting Actor in Mister Roberts (1955), was for Lemmon's endearingly funny 'Ensign Pulver' role. For The China Syndrome (1979), Lemmon was Oscar nominated again, in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category, but lost out to Dustin Hoffman for Kramer vs. Kramer (1979).
