Three ex-convicts set up the heist of a payroll. What they have not bargained for is an isotope of cobalt found in the safe they took. Anyone wonder why it's in there. So off they go after using a lift truck to put it in a van (which is so easy to trace). How they got away with this is beyond belief. Then, of course, they activate the radioactive cylinder. Norman Fell gets burned and is suffering some serious radiation problems. The young guy is insanely claustrophobic and finds a soul sister in Katherine Ross (last seen in her wedding dress with Dustin Hoffman). Anyway, there are some absurd plot elements here and what about the future. By the way, the guys in the Hazmat suits are carefully moving the container, while everyone else, including Ross, is getting exposed.
