(2019)
Regisseur:
James V. HartSchauspieler:
Julianna Margulies, Topher Grace, Noah Emmerich, Liam Cunningham, James D'ArcyDie Miniserie „The Hot Zone“ zeichnet die realen Hintergründe und den Ausbruch des Ebola-Virus Ende der 1980er Jahre nach. Sie zeigt, wie das Ebola-Virus, das sehr wahrscheinlich in einem Regenwald in Zentralafrika entstand, 1989 zum ersten Mal in die USA kam. Damals wurde es in einem Wissenschaftslabor in Washington, D.C. bei Schimpansen nachgewiesen. Eine Heilung war in weiter Ferne. Julianna Margulies spielt Dr. Nancy Jaax, eine Tierärztin der U.S. Army. Gemeinsam mit einem geheimen SWAT-Team versucht sie unter höchster Lebensgefahr, eine Übertragung auf die Stadtbevölkerung zu verhindern.
Based on the eponymous international bestseller by Richard Preston, The Hot Zone recounts the terrifying true story of the origins of the Ebola virus, a highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest and its first arrival on U.S. soil. In 1989, when this killer suddenly appears in chimpanzees in a scientific lab in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. — a stone's throw away from the White House — there is no known cure. A heroic U.S. Army veterinarian, working with a secret military SWAT team, puts herself in mortal peril when she tries to head off the outbreak before it spreads to the human population. The Hot Zone is a dramatic, hair-raising account of a rare and lethal virus and its impact on the human race.
