In fact, the course of action he selects has a much greater chance of triggering an explosion by [1] sparks routinely generated by the subway's third rail power shoe, [2] the dynamic brake system he proposes to use turns kinetic energy into heat through banks of resistors, and [3] directing Nolan Wood to make an impromptu shunt is sure to create sparks.

User Reviews

Amazing!

One of the best scifi alien-related movies I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot of them. No idea why this movie isn't popular here in the US and why it's hard to find. It was a hit in Germany (where I watched it).
