Show Description:
The Andromeda Strain is a 2008 science-fiction miniseries, very loosely based on the novel published in 1969 by Michael Crichton about a team of scientists who investigate a deadly disease of extraterrestrial origin. In 2004 the Sci-Fi Channel announced that they would produce a miniseries of The Andromeda Strain. Since that time the project has shifted to the A&E Network. The miniseries will be made up of 2 two-hour episodes. The mini-series has already been shown on Sky Movies Premiere in the United Kingdom, 3 weeks before it's American Premiere.
Plot:
After a government satellite lands in Piedmont,Utah, two young adults find it and take it back to the town. Foolishly, they open it and it releases a deadly virus - Codename Andromeda. Andromeda seems to evolve, each cell contacting each other, warning of new lethal weapons. A science team are assembled and set to work in an underground Laboratory, completely sealed off from the outside world. When they finally discover how to defeat the lethal strain, which kills in around 10 seconds, it is a race against time. A team of planes are dropping the gas around the quarantined areas, to kill off Andromeda, however the laboratory has become infected. One of the members of the team was given the order to destroy every single strain of Andromeda held in the lab (there for testing), and she was black mailed to keep one strain. As the virus was evolving, it broke out of the casing and trapped her in a room, whilst setting off the alarm for the whole laboratory. Every floor was sealed, and the man with the pass key to stop a 15 Minute Countdown until self destruction had to get to a different floor and use his pass key and finger print. He begins climbing up an air vent, which is falling apart as Andromeda eats at the rubbers in the facility. He gets knocked down into a pool of radioactive coolant fluid for the nuclear reactor below, killing him. The head scientist now has to take his pass key. Another scientist rushes in to the rescue and cuts off the dead scientists thumb, killing himself in the process, however he managed to throw the thumb up towards the head scientist. He saves the lab from destruction with 7 seconds left, and everyone lives happily ever after, except for the few hundred people that died... The ending is strange, as it shows a man in a spaceship, on film with a government official, placing a strain of Andromeda on a rather big shelf.
