Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey and written by William Clark and Edward J. Lakso, The Power Within is about Chris Darrow (Art Hindle), a pilot who is struck by lightning and gains the ability to shoot it out of his fingers. In order to get a handle on his powers, he turns to his father, General Tom Darrow (Edward Binns) and learns that he has to recharge those powers when he uses them or he'll die.
This was a pilot for a series that never happened. Back then, comic book movies just took ideas from comics and made them their own. This is very Green Lantern mixed with the opening of The Hulk TV origin. I'm sure if I had seen this as a kid, I'd still be drawing scenes from this movie.
