Blue Sky 1994 Full Movie

Blue Sky Full Movie

In 1962, Major Hank Marshall (Jones) and his wife, Carly (Lange), face marital difficulties due to the pressures of Hank’s military career and Carly’s mental health issues. Hank is a nuclear engineer who favors underground nuclear testing, an initiative code-named “Blue Sky,” rather than above-ground, open-air detonations. Carly, a free spirit who appears to be mentally unbalanced, struggles with domestic monotony and her advancing age, causing tension within their family.

Plot Summary

Their move from Hawaii to a remote base in Alabama exacerbates Carly’s erratic behavior and unsettles their eldest daughter, Alex Marshall (Locane). The day after their arrival, Hank meets with base commander Colonel Vince Johnson (Boothe), who dismisses Hank’s underground testing proposal despite strong scientific evidence.

Events Unfold

Meanwhile, Vince’s wife, Vera Johnson (Snodgress), extends an invitation to Carly for a social event hosted by the base officers’ wives. At the party, Carly becomes intoxicated and performs an exotic dance, prompting Vera to persuade Vince to address Carly’s behavior, though Vince plans to remove Hank from the equation first.

Turning Point

Alex begins a relationship with Vince’s son, Glenn (O’Donnell). On their first date, they find what Alex believes to be a dud grenade, which detonates and reveals their relationship, adding to Vince’s motivation to remove Hank. Carly is invited by the officers’ wives to participate in a dance recital and dedicates herself to rehearsing.

Hank is then sent to the Nevada Test Site to oversee the initial underground test under Lieutenant Colonel Robert Jennings (McClendon). During the test, Hank observes two cowboys in the testing area and requests that Robert abort the test, but Robert refuses, disregarding the cowboys’ safety and sending Hank back to Alabama.

Revelation and Resolution

While Hank is away, Alex and Glenn discover that Vince has orchestrated Hank’s removal to pursue an affair with Carly. Hank learns of the affair during the dance recital and reacts violently, leading to Carly being pushed out of a window and hospitalized. Hank is subsequently arrested, and Vince presents Carly with a choice: to either have Hank court-martialed or commit him to a psychiatric facility.

Suspecting foul play, Carly investigates Hank’s documents and discovers the report on the cowboys. She drives cross-country with her daughters and finds the cowboys suffering from radiation sickness then urges them to expose their story. When they refuse, Carly steals a horse and enters the test site to reenact their experience, attracting media attention.

Conclusion and Call-to-Action

As a result, Robert is forced to release both Carly and Hank. Carly returns home to find Hank waiting for her, having resigned from his position, and that Vince has been relieved of his duties. Hank announces a new job opportunity in the private sector in California, and the family moves happily to start anew.
