Outbreak

TRY TO REMAIN CALM.

Army virologist Sam Daniels (Dustin Hoffman) investigates the outbreak of a mysterious and highly deadly virus in Zaire, not realizing that soon heā€™ll be fighting to contain it in the United States. Inspired by the sensational, reality-based book ā€The Hot Zoneā€, this film takes the safest Hollywood route and turns into a military thriller where Donald Sutherlandā€™s jingoistic general must be defeated before he kills thousands of people. The depiction of how an Ebola-like virus spreads among people is far scarier; effectively staged, with a great music score and a terrific hero in the shape of Hoffman.

1995-U.S. 127 min. Color. Directed byĀ Wolfgang Petersen. Music: James Newton Howard. Cast: Dustin Hoffman (Sam Daniels), Rene Russo (Robby Keough), Morgan Freeman (Billy Ford), Kevin Spacey, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Donald Sutherlandā€¦ Patrick Dempsey. Cameo: J.T. Walsh.

Trivia: Harrison Ford was reportedly considered for the lead role.
