Synopsis

Outbreak (1995) box art In this exciting eco-thriller, Dustin Hoffman plays an army medic who's trying to save the world from a lethal virus imported into America from Africa. You could read this as an Aids allegory, but it also works well as a regular against-the-clock jeopardy thriller with conspiracy cover-up overtones. Director Wolfgang Petersen marshals the effects superbly and there's terrific support from the likes of Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey and a particularly nasty Donald Sutherland. If Hoffman lacks the requisite heroic quality needed for the lead, you certainly feel you could put your trust in him.
