An international traveler reaches into the snack bowl at an airport bar before passing her credit card to a waiter. A business meeting begins with a round of handshakes. A man coughs on a crowded bus.
One contact. One instant. And a lethal virus is transmitted, in Warner Bros.’ new global thriller Contagion.
When Beth Emhoff returns to Minneapolis from business in Hong Kong, what she thought was jet lag takes a virulent turn. Two days later, she’s dead in the ER and the doctors tell her shocked and grieving husband they have no idea why.
Soon, others exhibit the same mysterious symptoms: hacking coughs and fever, followed by seizure, brain hemorrhage…and ultimately, death. In Minneapolis, Chicago, London, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong, the numbers quickly multiply: one case becomes four, then sixteen, then hundreds, thousands, as the contagion sweeps across all borders, fueled by the countless human interactions that make up the course of an average day.
A global pandemic explodes.
Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) directs Contagion with a stellar international ensemble cast, including Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose, Inception); Academy Award winner Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, the Bourne films); Oscar nominee Laurence Fishburne (What’s Love Got to Do With It, The Matrix); Oscar nominee Jude Law (Cold Mountain, Sherlock Holmes); Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love, Iron Man); and Academy Award winner Kate Winslet (The Reader, Titanic).
Contagion follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving pandemic 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.
