Based on the novel by Michael Crichton, Robert Wise takes the directors chair for this Sci-Fi flick full of tense moments and how scientists from different areas try to work together and develop different theories that may work to contain the new alien virus. Arthur Hill, David Wayne, James Olson and Kate Reid star as the four bickering people chosen to asses, control and cure the disease before it goes airborne.
Most Sci-Fi movies require big budgets, monsters, desolate cities as their main areas or enemies, for this film it requires High Tech underground facilities, a small infection, claustrophobic and good acting for it to work which it does. well worth a watch. 8 out of 10. | This one is near the top of my watch pile, looking forward to watching it, never seen it before
