Based on James Mills&#8217; best-selling book &#8220;The Seventh Power,&#8221; the thriller centers on two brilliant college students (Heigl and Smith) who build a nuclear device to illustrate the need for a change in national priorities but are betrayed by a fellow student. When the bomb ends up in the hands of a terrorist, the two students have to work together with the government in a race against time to prevent the destruction of the San Francisco Bay Area. Tom Vaughan wrote the script of &#8220;Ground Zero,&#8221; which was developed before NBC decided to scale back its long-form programming this year.
