Based on Michael Crichton's classic sci-fi novel The Andromeda Strain stars Benjamin Bratt (Law And Order), Rick Schroder (24) and Eric McCormack (Will And Grace) and is directed by Mikael Solomon (Band Of Brothers). It all started with a brilliant flash of light - and then a thunderous explosion. In the desert outskirts of Piedmont, Arizona, a sleepy town in the middle of an arid nowhere, something has just fallen from the sky and crashed to Earth. Within the hour, all the townspeople - except a single infant and a drunkard old man - will be dead. Now an elite scientific unit attempts to study the deadly virus, determine its origin and figure out a way to stop it.
