Medusa's Child

In Medusa's Child, a nuclear scientist named Rogers Henry, played by Vincent Spano, seeks revenge after the departure of his wife and the loss of his funding. He creates Medusa, a thermonuclear bomb capable of unleashing a continent-sized electromagnetic pulse, which would devastate a computer-dependent society. The plot thickens as he tricks his wife, Vivian, into bringing the bomb to the Pentagon, setting in motion a countdown that is linked to her pacemaker.

The tension escalates as the bomb arms itself aboard a cargo plane, with Hurricane Sigrid looming on the horizon. The film's premise explores themes of desperation and the lengths one might go to for revenge, making it a compelling addition to the thriller genre. With a notable cast that features Lori Loughlin, Gail O'Grady, and Martin Sheen, the film presents a mix of action and suspense that resonates with fans of 90s thrillers.
