Uprooting his family after being assigned to a remote testing facility in Alabama, nuclear engineer and dedicated military man Hank Marshall (Tommy Lee Jones, The Fugitive) is faced with a moral dilemma as an opponent of the weapons tests he's asked to complete.
Adding to an already volatile situation is Hank's wife, Carly (Jessica Lange, in an Oscar®‐winning performance) whose erratic behaviour and flirtatious nature increase the strain on their relationship, bringing further unwanted attention.
With a supporting cast including Powers Boothe (Southern Comfort), Carrie Snodgress (Diary of a Mad Housewife) and Chris O'Donnell (Scent of a Woman), Blue Sky would be the last film directed by the great Tony Richardson (Tom Jones).
Extras
- Newly recorded audio commentary by film critic Nick Pinkerton
- Operation Hurricane (1952, 33 mins): after the first Soviet nuclear weapon was detonated in 1949, the British accelerated the development of their own nuclear deterrent. This haunting film documents the first atomic bomb test on the Monte Bello Islands
- Atoms at Work (1952, 11 mins): a fascinating behind‐the‐scenes look at the Harwell atomic research establishment and the potential benefits of radioactivity
