Oscar®-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh returns to large-scale cinema with this global action thriller that revolves around the threat of a deadly outbreak of a fatal disease and the people determined to keep it at bay. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart.

A stellar international ensemble cast including Academy Award® winners Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and nominees Jude Law and Laurence Fishburne portray the dedicated doctors at the CDC and World Health Organization who rush to contain the outbreak of a new virus.

“I paid $12.99 to watch a 10-year-old movie,” Mr. Jenkins said. “I’ve never done that before. … I was really curious to see how well it would line up to what is happening right now… It was shocking. It felt like I was watching a documentary that has all these movie stars playing real people.” – Barry Jenkins via New York Times
