Vandiver, a scientist at a government lab, is assigned to devise a serum to protect humans from nuclear radiation, but instead of inventing his own he steals that of his best friend, with terrifying consequences. Reissue.

[Robert Fontenot · Rating 2 out of 5]

Intriguing premise, but my god this goes off the rails in the most tedious way possible.
