Ground Zero (1987)

In the heart of Australia, Harvey Denton, a well-compensated marketing cinematographer, is abruptly ensnared in a dangerous web of secrets when film material, captured by his deceased father, mysteriously disappears from his apartment. The sinister shadow of A.S.I.O., Australia's formidable security agency, begins to loom over him, hinting at a deeper, darker narrative. As investigations into British nuclear tests from the fifties in Australia commence, Denton is drawn into an alarming possibility. Could his father's film material be the key to uncovering a horrific truth - that Aboriginal people and military personnel were purposely subjected to lethal nuclear radiation? Haunted by the knowledge that his father was employed by the government to document these tests, and met an untimely death by the ocean - a death officially attributed to innocent causes - Denton's determination solidifies. He launches himself into a perilous quest for a secret potentially so devastating that his government could have already committed murder to suppress it. Ground Zero is an intricate tapestry of suspense and intrigue, weaving together a son's search for truth, and a nation's haunting past. As Denton delves deeper, he must confront not only the specter of his father's legacy but also the chilling reality of government conspiracy. This gripping film is a haunting exploration of the lengths to which one man will go to expose the truth, even in the face of terrifying odds.

Ground Zero is an action movie featuring Steve Dodd and directed by Michael Pattinson.
