Medusa's Child (1997)
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.

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?
Very good mini series, what a shame it is only for television audiences. Will love to have it on DVD. The plot is excellent. As the other movie from John Nance (Pandora's Clock) this one doesn't stay behind and for sure hits the spot light.What ever rights habe ABC on this series, this one should be on VHS and DVD right away, all audiences have the right for it !!!Juan Pacheco
The movie really got my adrenalin pumped. It's high time that Vincent Spano got into the big league. His all Italian looks and charm pushed my button.I am dying to buy the DVD print of the series. I wish they would release it asap.
I really liked this movie. Even though they changed a few things from the book, they kept the suspense up and running. The casting was perfect and well acted. Especially Vincent Spano as the Captain. I would recommend this film to anyone, and I will buy a copy of the video when it is available.
