Silkwood (1983)



Trailer

Karen Silkwood (Meryl Streep) works at a plutonium processing plant owned by the energy company Kerr-McGee in Oklahoma. She makes plutonium fuel rods for nuclear reactors where she and her colleagues deal with the threat of exposure to radiation. As there's indication that the company is putting its workers at great risk because it has fallen behind on a major contract and thus requiring employees to work long overtime hours, Karen decides to become active in the union and do something about the safety violations at the plant. But this comes at great cost as she's purposefully contaminated and bullied by the company.
