Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/02/2008 Rating: R

Amazon.com:
When Warner Brothers was unable to secure the rights to Richard Preston's terrifying nonfiction book The Hot Zone (purchased by a rival studio), they took the basic idea of a fatal virus on the loose in the U.S., added Dustin Hoffman and director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot), and produced an unusual thriller--a surprise hit--called Outbreak. The other picture, slated to star Robert Redford and Jodie Foster, fell through. The premise of Outbreak, which owes something to Elia Kazan's 1950 plague-scare movie, Panic in the Streets, is as terrifying as it is timely. As developers slash their way deeper into the previously unexplored tropical rainforests, they are exposed to radically new forms of life, including diseases, that in these days of commonplace international travel could turn into deadly epidemics almost before we know it. Hoffman's character and his estranged wife (Rene Russo) are disease experts called in to identify the unknown killer, which was carried into the country by an illegally smuggled monkey. The best sequence shows the disease spreading--through recycled air on a passenger jet, or a sneeze in a crowded movie theater. The final chase is pretty conventional, but the cast is terrific, including Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland, Cuba Gooding Jr., J.T. Walsh, and Zakes Mokae. --Jim Emerson

Rating: - Relevant story line, engaging characters, scary plot
I saw this film years ago, and watched it on BD for the first time yesterday on a 42" Plasma and BD30K BD player. The storyline invokes the type of fear that is reminiscent of the best medical/disaster films, and the characters are real, and caused me to root for them. The acting was a bit over the top, but it was bearable, as the film was very suspenseful.

The history of the virus, military coverups and the ensemble cast create an exciting climax, and I mostly enjoyed the scenes between ... Read More
