Synopsis Directed with clinical precision by Robert Wise, this record of the earth's first biological crisis is perhaps the most painstakingly authentic science fiction thriller ever made. When a satellite falls to earth near a remote New Mexico village, the recovery team finds everyone in the area dead except an infant and an old derelict. The survivors are brought to a five story underground lab-one of the most elaborate and intricate sets ever assembled in Hollywood-where scientists attempt to determine the nature of the deadly microbe before it starts a world-wide epidemic. A trailblazer in the realm of science-fact, The Andromeda Strain is based on Michael Crichton's best selling novel that created national paranoia for its topical relevance to the first moon landing.

Customer Review IT'S GREEN AND DANGEROUS - 3 out of 5  (11/21/1998) A science-fiction movie of the seventies, ANDROMEDA STRAIN won't seduce the actual aficionados of the Lucas-Spielberg generation. Lots of talk, relatively unknown actors and a minimum of special effects : for sure, it's not as attractive as ALIEN. In the meantime, you could enjoy this movie for the following reasons : - It's a film produced and directed by Robert Wise (WEST SIDE STORY). - Some interesting ecological questions are discussed. - The final scene is absolutely great a   more >>
