*Andromeda Strain (1971)
7.20 Rating 131 min
When virtually all of the residents of Piedmont, New Mexico, are found dead after the return to Earth of a space satellite, the head of the US Air Force's Project Scoop declares an emergency. Many years prior to this incident, a group of eminent scientists led by Dr. Jeremy Stone (Arthur Hill) advocated for the construction of a secure laboratory facility that would serve as a base in the event an alien biological life form was returned to Earth from a space mission. Stone and his team - Drs. Dutton, Leavitt and Hall (David Wayne, Kate Reid, and James Olson, respectively)- go to the facility, known as Wildfire, and try to first isolate the life form while determining why two people from Piedmont (an old wino and a six-month-old baby) survived. The scientists methodically study the alien life form unaware that it has already mutated and presents a far greater danger in the lab, which is equipped with a nuclear self-destruct device should it manage to escape.

6.10 Rating
120 min
Two soldiers are sent to find a satellite that has crash-landed near a small town in Utah called Piedmont; but someone has removed it from where it landed. The soldiers make their way to town in order to find it. But what they find in "the armpit of nowhere" is unexpected and horrible. Dead bodies are lying about everywhere. Suddenly an old man runs up to their Humvee screaming for help. But it's too late - for the soldiers. Within moments they are stricken by something unknown. And then they're dead. Soon, Dr. Jeremy Stone will lead a crack team of scientists as they work feverishly in a secret, state-of-the-art laboratory to discover what has killed the citizens of Piedmont, and why two survivors seem to have been immune. They have little time. Whatever wiped out the people of the small town is spreading across the country and killing everyone in its path. Meanwhile, a rogue television reporter battles with sinister government agents to learn the truth about the disaster.
