Silkwood. 1983. USA. Directed by Mike Nichols. With Meryl Streep, Kurt Russell, Cher. 131 min.

Silkwood is wrenching today as it was when Nichols partnered for the first time with screenwriter Nora Ephron and star Meryl Streep—both of whom would become critical collaborators—to create this searing indictment of a capitalist system stacked against its own people.
