'Outbreak': Wait for cable
Tamu Johnson
Banner Reporter
The new movie Outbreak
— about a deadly virus brought
from Zaire to a small town in
northem California — should
have been titled Broken. It was
obvious from the beginning of
the film that the plot needed
fixing.
For one, there was no mys
tery about how the people in
Califomia contracted the vims.
It was a mystery, however,
how some of those people who
were exposed to the virus did not
become infected while others did.
Also, it hardly seems pos
sible that such a deadly virus could
be confined to one town. Very
confusing.
Movie Review
Another major problem with
the film was the unrealistic lengths
that the military underwent to find
a cure for the virus, once it spread
witliin the community.
The film did have some re
deeming qualities such as the per
formances by Dustin Hoffman
and Cuba Gooding Jr. (the cou
rageous military officers who
jeopardized their own safety to
find a cure); Rene Russo,
Hoffman’s wife in the film (who
due to her own careless behavior
was exposed to the vims and
became infected); and Morgan
Freeman (the stubbom but wise
commanding military officer).
I don’t recommend this
movie. If your still interested,
though wait until it starts at the
dollar theater.

Imagine a virus more deadly
than HIV. A virus that wanders
through the air, waiting to invade
your body and powerful enough
to destroy you in less than 24
hours.
The motaba vims originated
in the Motaba Valley River in
Zaire. It’s the fictional, but mon
strous disease that caused a
pandemic in the movie Outbreak.
In days, its victims experience
svinptoms so horrible that deatli
would be tlie only possible relief.
When tlie motaba virus spread
in a small village in Zaire, the
U.S. Army tliought dropping a
bomb on the area would destroy
it. Instead, the host of the virus, a
monkey, hadalready been shipped
over to a U.S. animal lab where
it was later stolen by an em
ployee.
Jim bo Scott, the employee,
headed for a small Califomia
town called Cedar Creek and
tried to sell the monkey to a local
pet store owner. Little did the
men know, they were handling a
monkey that was carrying what
could be the most deadly virus
known to man.
Sam Daniels, played by
Dustin Hoffman, a military doc
tor puts his life on the line when
making a desperate attempt to
stop the deadly spread in Cedar
Creek. With the help of Cuba
Gooding Jr. Rene Russo and
Morgan Freeman, stopping the
vims is a fight to the finish.
Outbreak is a dramatic dis
play of terror that will leave its
viewers squirming on the edge
of their seats. Altliough the story
is fictional, it is based on an
actual event that occured in
Washington D.C.
