An acceptable diversion.

Warning: Spoilers
Filmed on location in Normandy, Marseille, New York, Singapore and Australia, The Nuclear Conspiracy is a thriller that is worth a peek, and is enjoyable enough if expectations are not too high.

At home in her London apartment, Susan Galloway (Doll) receives a panicky phone call from her journalist fiancé. Fearing that he has been injured or worse, she and her daughter take off to retrace his footsteps. Aided and abetted by a reprobate of a photo journalist, and monitored all the time by mainly unseen pursuers, they eventually uncover a high level conspiracy and a secret nuke dump in the Australian desert.

The film is somewhat marred by languid pacing and a bad English post dub but is engaging nevertheless.

An attempt on the heroine's life in an underground car park is particularly well handled, as is the frequent sinister appearances of a character called Aunt Ruth.

The Soporific Conspirary
Waiting2BShocked8 September 2005
This is an ITV-dubbed version which seems to have been shorn of half an hour, judging by the running time listed here. However, as the basic premise - Aussie journalist sticks his nose too far into a mystery surrounding the consignment of some nuclear waste on its way to Oz - is rendered with as much paranoiac hysteria as the vague recollection that you may have left your change on the counter at the local corner shop; truncation is clearly a blessing.

Crammed full of attention-alienating long shots designed for no apparent purpose other than to make post-synch international dubbing less of a headache, this is neither pictorially or actorily interesting enough to suggest that Lee was recruited - and accordingly performs - as if he were in it for anything other than the money.

Nuclear Dynamite!
DJ-2116 December 2000
A reporter working on a story about the illegal dumping of uranium waste mysteriously goes missing. His wife, naturally worried teams up with a photographer friend. They turn detective and travel half the world following the leads of her husband. While on their travels they virtually uncover the whole story of the illegal dumping and the cover up made by the nuclear industries involved.

This movie has a great story line and a reasonable plot. Although in German, this movie has been dubbed in English and is watchable.
