The Andromeda Strain

Rated G (132 min.)
Director: Robert Wise
With James Olson, Arthur Hill, David Wayne
When a mysterious infection from a space probe kills all but two residents of a tiny New Mexico town, a small team of scientists is gathered to investigate the probe (and the survivors) at a high-tech underground emergency lab for its first real use. Their plan is to use deliberate scientific methods to isolate and understand the infectious agent, but time is not on their side and the newly-dubbed Andromeda Strain is not only unpredictable and lethal but ready to break out of containment. Will the lab’s nuclear self-destruct device be needed after all? Hunker down in these contagious times for the first Michael Crichton novel to hit the screen!
