I have thought of starting this (admittedly frivolous) thread many times but this time I think we could all use some fun and silly entertainment.
Throughout the years I have been making a mental list of movies or TV series where cold fusion or something not exactly called cold fusion but looking like cold fusion has been mentioned or portrayed, in a few cases in a central role or even as a passing remark. Here I will make that list available and, when possible, provide a link to either the entire movie or clip where the cold fusion mention happens.
Feel free to add anything if you think it belongs here. I will start with the movies where cold fusion is directly part of the main argument of the flick:
Chain Reaction (1996): Keanu Reeves portrays the PhD candidate working for a Cold Fusion researcher that gets murdered and then starts a race to save his own life and the female co lead’s life (Rachel Weiss) while attempting to avoid the suppression of the technology by obscure interests.
The Saint (1997): Val Kilmer interprets an international thief tasked with seducing a female researcher (portrayed by Elizabeth Sue)that has perfected cold Fusion and wants to give it free to the world.
Knight and Day: Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are lead roles in this spy romance thriller where an energy device with a nuclear power density technology that can be held in the hands, and the life of its autistic inventor, are threatened and disputed by several parties that wants to either own or or destroy it for avoiding anyone else to have it.
