Info

Fuming over the departure of his wife Vivian and the cutting of his research funding, crazy nuclear scientist Rogers Henry constructs Medusa, a thermonuclear bomb capable of generating a continent-sized electro-magnetic pulse; such EMP could effectively destroy a computer-based society. He dupes Vivian into bringing it to the Pentagon to exact his final revenge on the government, rigging it so it will explode before its count-down if Vivian's pacemaker isn't within fifteen feet of it. Medusa arms itself in the air aboard Scott Nash's 737 cargo plane, and with Hurricane Sigrid about to hit the coast, nobody wants to let them land. Based on the novel by John J. Nance.

Medusa's Child Audience Reviews

CommentsXp Best movie ever!
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
elskootero Saw this film for the first time about 10 minutes ago and was absolutely FLOORED!!! After the first 20 minutes, I said to myself....EH; Maybe a C+. Then, once Gail O'Grady's character got the thing ( I won't say what) on board and you learn what it is, I upgraded it to a B+. Then, a little more than an hour into it, I shouted aloud, "Eccumenical Effluvia", A+, and by the end, 2 hours later, it's final grade was A+++! Then, I come downstairs to see how much it is on Amazon, But neither they nor anyone else has it out yet!?!? Movie fans, SEE THIS ONE!!!!! It drags a tad in the first 20 minutes, but stay with it! You'll need Kidneys of cast iron... it's that good. You'll be glued to your seat!
rwinbour Loved the really stupid comment about "earth warming causing the present hurricane to have greater power than regular hurricane". Honest to God is there no better talent in writing than to waste it on something so bad?
MichaelWeihn This excellent 2 part mini-series revolves around the Medusa project. A nuclear bomb created to kill millions of people as well as destroy all electricity in the US including crashing all computers. The creator's ex-wife is to deliver to the Pentagon what she believes is only a mock of the bomb but the real thing is on board the plane & is set to detonate if moved or defused. The mini series stars Lori Loughlin, Gail O'Grady, Vincent Spano, and Kevin Dillon. For a mini-series it's filled with top-notch actors, excellent dialogue, great direction, and terrific special effects. From start to finish, Medusa's Child keeps you on the edge of your seat & doesn't let up until the closing credits.
debbieesther Even though this teevee movie is as predictable as they come, the mad scientist, the fearless pilots, the smart, tough as nails, but beautiful broads, the foolish military leaders and the honest, human president, you won't be disappointed with the heart-stopping suspense, great special effects and above all, the dynamite acting.
