There was a movie with a riveting scene of a plutonium core almost going critical when a researcher put it into a vise and applied pressure. I think it might have been the movie Infinity with Matthew Broderick playing Richard Feynman. Well, I just heated a crab cake in my microwave oven for two minutes, as per instructions, and am pretty sure from its energized state when I opened the oven door that it was quite close to going critical.
