Outbreak
This animal carries a deadly virus... and the greatest medical crisis in the world is about to happen. Try to remain calm.
Dustin Hoffman plays Sam Daniels, a take-charge army virologist trying to stave off global biological meltdown. A rare killer virus from the jungles of Zaire has taken hold in a California community. It knows no boundaries. Its mortality rate is 100%. And some say the only way to stop its spread is to firebomb thew town and everyone in it. Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Donald Sutherland and more superb talents join Hoffman in this shocking, nail-biting tale of the day that could become doomsday.

Over acting with nonsensical comedy relief bits and over the top 'save every American' sentimentality, this movie is garbage. Watch contagion (2011) instead.
USELESS FACTS:
Dustin Hoffman's role of Sam Daniels was originally intended for Harrison Ford. Coincidentally, Harrison Ford's character in Blade Runner was written with Dustin Hoffman in mind.
Betsy, the white-headed capuchin Monkey, also appears in the sitcom Friends as Marcel, Ross' pet. The monkey's prior role in Outbreak was spoofed by a poster showing Marcel as the star in the fictional movie "Outbreak 2: The Virus Takes Manhattan". Both the movie and the TV series are Warner Brothers productions.Great collector DVD - repo97
This has to be the best Pandemic-type flick out there. The effects of the Motobo Virus in the movie are done extremely well, along with the story line. This has to be one of the best Dustin Hoffman roles I have ever seen by far.
A great addition to anyone's DVD collection!One of my favourite movies - EBAF
I think this is one of those movies that everybody should have in their collection. Just as entertaining today as when it was released. If you have not seen this movie what are you waiting for, I seen this in theater (makes you kinda nervous when someone starts to cough in the theater)and it was incredible, one of those edge of your seat thrillers
