________________________________

I don't remember what source I used to summarize the plot of this movie in the post above, but the IMDB summary is significantly different.
________________________________

Professor Johansson has made a huge scientific breakthrough; a device that will create a huge magnetic pulse that knocks out all electricity over a continent-wide area. The military applications are already being thought of when Dr. Johansson is kidnapped by a group of profit-seeking mercenaries. Meanwhile, his daughter, Karin, finds herself having to consort with all manner of shady characters as she searches for her father.

The IMDB members who commented on the movie describe it as a globe-hopping action/spy/adventure which is very entertaining. I've looked everywhere I know of for a download, with no luck. Sad
