Which book or movie?
Two books that I know of that have Orion type spacecraft are "Footfall" by Niven and Pournelle, and "Orion Shall Rise" (I can't remember the author).
Poul Anderson. Interesting example of synchronicity--two novels dealing with Project Orion coming out at just about the same time.
