Why watch this film?
Healthcare professionals, government officials and everyday people find themselves in the midst of a worldwide epidemic as the CDC works to find a cure.
"One of the most popular films by filmmaker Steven Soderbergh (of 'Ocean's Eleven'), 'Contagion' follows the director's style to a tee. The plot is intricate, with overlapping stories, while the characters are extremely real. The epidemic in this case goes against what other filmmakers do. It's more down to earth, more realistic and has everything to do with the health crisis the world lives in and has lived in. In addition, Soderbergh manages to bring together a strong cast from several nationalities, amplifying the tone that a virus does not stop at borders. Special mention must be made of Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and Laurence Fishburne, who share intense, powerful scenes."
