synopsis
In director Wolfgang Petersen's fast-paced, intelligently written thriller, Dustin Hoffman plays Col. Sam Daniels, an expert on infectious diseases who is called in to study the outbreak of a deadly illness in Zaire. He finds a virus that spreads so quickly it could wipe out an entire nation in just a few weeks, and he believes that it might have spread to the United States. With the help of his ex-wife (Rene Russo), who works at the Centers for Disease Control, Daniels tracks the virus to the quiet seaside town of Cedar Creek, California. His superiors' reticence to help begins to raise questions in Daniels's mind, and he must find a cure before a panicky U.S. army general decides to kill the town's populace in order to save the world. The all-star cast includes Hoffman, Russo, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland, Morgan Freeman, and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

| You've got to love it when Hollywood producers find themselves scrambling to be the first out of the blocks with an idea. As has already occurred in recent years with Robin Hood and Wyatt Earp projects, there was a race last year between two studios to get killer virus films into production. A project based on the current best seller THE HOT ZONE was originally set with Robert Redford and Jodie Foster starring, but script troubles caused the deal to fall apart. That left OUTBREAK alone to cash in on the virus fever generated by THE HOT ZONE, and it's likely to be a big hit. Though its conventional action climax doesn't fulfill the promise of a gripping first hour, it's still a satisfying popcorn thriller.
