Chain Reaction

Chain Reaction (1996) is a sci-fi action thriller with Keanu Reeves you can watch online on iFILM. A research team in Chicago cracks what everyone has been chasing: cheap, clean energy pulled from plain water. By morning the lab is a crater, the lead scientist is dead, and the FBI wants two of the team for murder.

Eddie Kasalivich, the machinist who helped build the device (Reeves), and physicist Lily Sinclair (Rachel Weisz) run with one question between them: who framed them, and why. The further they go, the clearer it gets that someone wants this technology buried, not patented — too many powerful people profit from keeping free energy off the table. Morgan Freeman plays a handler whose real agenda stays hidden until late. Fred Ward and Brian Cox work the other end of the chase.

Andrew Davis, who made The Fugitive, directs, and his fingerprints show — the same tense pursuits, the same lone man squeezed by the system. A solid nineties thriller for anyone who likes intrigue around classified science and money moving in the shadows. Stream Chain Reaction online on iFILM.
