Action-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and the international team of doctors fighting the outbreak. Directed by Steven Soderberg (Traffic), with an all-star cast including Matt Damon and Kate Winslet.
As the epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community (Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard) races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus. The film also follows ordinary folk (Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow) struggling to survive amongst city quarantines and a society falling apart.

"A level-headed take on a topic that’s often an excuse for madness and melodrama. You’ll be engrossed and grossed-out, but may suspect there’s a ton of footage under quarantine until the Blu-ray."

Total Film"Contagion is serious, precise, frightening, emotionally enveloping. It’s a highly controlled film about an out-of-control event, a film so sure-handed and intelligent that it has an invigorating, even an enlightening, quality."
