At the same time, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart. A stellar international ensemble cast including Academy Award® winners Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and nominees Jude Law and Laurence Fishburne portray the dedicated doctors at the CDC and World Health Organization who rush to contain the outbreak of a new virus.

Sukanya Verma

The thriller has acquired the realism of a documentary.

A corker of dread... Accepting of the possibility, plausibility and even certainty of massive social tremors and upheavals. Flu, weather, warming, water: [it] could have taken flight from any of these... delicate filaments of global commerce,

With an incredibly talented cast, Burns' words are in capable hands.

Contagion might be a more important film in 2024 but it really speaks to the importance of being prepared when mitigating a pandemic outbreak.
