Chain Reaction is a 1996 film starring Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Morgan Freeman and Fred Ward. It presents a fictional account of the invention of bubble fusion using sonoluminescence (the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound).
Bubble fusion is the common name for a nuclear fusion reaction hypothesized to occur during sonoluminescence, an extreme form of acoustic cavitation. The high temperatures produceable through sonoluminescence raises the possibility that it might be a means to achieve thermonuclear fusion.
Large portions of the film were shot on location in and around Chicago, Illinois, including Argonne National Laboratory, the Museum of Science and Industry, the Field Museum of Natural History, and Michigan Avenue. There are also scenes that are shot at Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin and on Geneva Lake in southern Wisconsin.de:Außer Kontrolle it:Reazione a catena (film 1996)
