The Andromeda Strain

“The picture runs 130 minutes... The story covers 96 of the most critical hours in man's history... The suspense will last through your lifetime!”

In Piedmont, New Mexico, a satellite returns to Earth and nearly everyone in town is found dead, leaving only an old alcoholic and a six-month-old baby alive. Dr. Jeremy Stone (Arthur Hill) leads a team of scientists into a secure underground laboratory to isolate the life form and learn why those two survived. Robert Wise films their work as procedure, with every test and protocol laid out in clinical detail.
