Uprooting his family after being assigned to a remote testing facility in Alabama, nuclear engineer and dedicated military man Hank Marshall (Tommy Lee Jones) 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.
