Karen Silkwood-martyred to protect big government and corporations.
Based on factual events about a 'whistleblower' at a plutonium plant (Kerr-McGee) where many safety violations occurred jeopardizing the workers.and product safety. Names of some of the characters portrayed were changed in the movie because a lawsuit was pending by Karen's family against K-M. Based on later investigations after the initial finding of a 'single car accident' that suggested Karen fell asleep at the wheel or was impaired by drugs/alcohol strongly suggest that her car was forced/run off the road and into the culvert resulting in her immediate death.Independent articles written by investigating reporters also uncovered possibility of conspiracy of illegal sale of plutonium from this plant (and others) to entities outside the U.S. She was most likely contaminated with ...

The movie sticks with most of the credible facts as known at the time of production. Very good movie however I suggest persons really interested in Karen's suspicious death, read dome of the books available. Coverup, consipiracy and murder.

Great Performances by the 3 Stars; Great Supporting Performances too
In 1983, Meryl Streep was just getting started as the brilliant, most loved actress that we know in 2011. But she certainly showed her versatility in this portrayal of Karen Silkwood--so different from Karen Blixen in "Out of Africa" in 1985 and Sophie in 1982's "Sophie's Choice." Karen Silkwood is a real-life unsophisticated Oklahoman nuclear power plant worker, who like Sally Field in "Norma Rae," steps up to fight corporate America when abuses are apparent in the workplace. In this movie Karen has two housemates--her boyfriend Drew (Kurt Russell) and her lesbian friend Dolly (Cher), who is in love with Karen too. We are immersed in Streep's rural, uneducated characterization of this character, who chain smokes, flashes the men with her ... In 1983, Meryl Streep was just getting started as the brilliant, most loved actress that we know in 2011. But she certainly showed her versatility in this portrayal of Karen Silkwood--so different from Karen Blixen in "Out of Africa" in 1985 and Sophie in 1982's "Sophie's Choice." Karen Silkwood is a real-life unsophisticated Oklahoman nuclear power plant worker, who like Sally Field in "Norma Rae," steps up to fight corporate America when abuses are apparent in the workplace. In this movie Karen has two housemates--her boyfriend Drew (Kurt Russell) and her lesbian friend Dolly (Cher), who is in love with Karen too. We are immersed in Streep's rural, uneducated characterization of this character, who chain smokes, flashes the men with her breasts, and eventually is infected with plutonium when she becomes a union steward. It is left to our imaginations whether Karen's death in a car accident was sabotaged by her employers, but her subversive activities in the plant were certainly not liked. This movie also shows how even employees take dangerous jobs and dislike people like Karen too when they are afraid of losing those jobs. Cher shines in a totally opposite role of the person we perceive her to be. Dolly is mannish, wears t-shirts and wrinkled slacks, and allows herself to be made up by her girlfriend-beautician. Her portrayal here was so believable that she earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination. I am sure that this role opened the door to her Oscar winning role in "Moonstruck." Kurt Russell is great as well as Drew, who is pretty much as we know him in other movies--an Elvis wannabe who plays the guitar and lives a Southern rebel experience--fixing cars and drinking beer. But he performs this role well in this movie, and we want him to make it with Karen Silkwood. He shows great sensitivity in his love for Karen--especially when he could be infected too with the nuclear fallout. There were 5 Oscar nominations for this movie. It was the first of many for Streep as Best Actress, Cher as Best Supporting Actress, Best Director (Mike Nichols), Best Original Screenplay (Nora Ephron and Alice Arlen), and Best Film Editing. It won none. This movie is well worth your time.

Silkwood
Based on a true story Karen Silkwood lives a free-spirited existence with two friends who work with her at an Oklahoma nuclear facility. It's only when she discovers she's been exposed to radiation that Karen's conscience awakens, and soon she is digging for evidence of wrongdoing at her company. But her sudden zeal for safer working conditions may come at a high price as she alienates friends and possibly even puts her own life in peril.Based on a true story Karen Silkwood lives a free-spirited existence with two friends who work with her at an Oklahoma nuclear facility.

Excellent DVD and easy to use menu with great bonus features
Excellent movie and great cast of actors. Excellent story and sad ending as with all great "take on the system" movies. MGM was smart for getting the rights to this story and making it into a class "A" film. Cher is at her best.

Amazing Performances in "Silkwood"
Meryl Streep portrays Karen Silkwood, who died in a car accident en route to a meeting with reporters from the New York Times. Karen supposedly had documents that proved the plutonium plant she was working at was not following the guidelines to ensure a safe working place. Kurt Russell plays Karen's boyfriend and Cher is their room mate. I have known for years that Cher was an awesome entertainer, but here she shows she is an actress! My dad bought me the VHS years ago. When I saw this DVD on Ebay, I had to bid on it! The picture quality is very sharp and clear, the sound awesome. The three main actors make you feel as though you are right there with them. A compelling, heartfelt film.
