The movie features many actors who were in Mad Max, among them Mel Gibson as a bearded mechanic, though he doesn't appear in the title credits. The taglines used in advertising the film included "A fast drive to Paradise turns into a nuclear nightmare!" and "Mad Max meets The China Syndrome".

At the WALDO nuclear facility, Dr Heinrich Schmidt goes to deal with an emergency, only to receive a fatal dose of radiation exposure from a flooded containment breach. He is placed under medical quarantine but makes an escape. Mechanic Larry Stillson and his wife Carmel go off to spend a weekend together at a small Australian Outback town. Their idyll is then interrupted by the arrival of the amnesiac Heinrich. At the same time, sinister mercenaries employed by WALDO arrive in the area to stop Heinrich before he lets it known to the public that irradiated material from the plant has leaked into the local water table.
