Like most of the people in her town, Karen Silkwood works at the local nuclear plant producing highly radioactive plutonium.

As her illness increases, her protest grows louder and she becomes an obvious danger to the powers that be.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Silkwood has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.9/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1983. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
