When he reports back to his superior officer General Ford and tells him that they should put out an alert on this disease but the General that since the disease is so far away and not airborne that it can't possibly reach the U.S. However, a monkey from that part of Africa was captured and brought to the U.S. and a man who works at the customs house took it and tried to sell it but when the person he tried to sell it to rejected it he released it. Later the man who arrived in Boston collapses and dies, Col. Daniels wants to look into it but General Ford denies his request so he turns to his ex-wife, who works at the Center for Disease Control or CDC to look into and they discover it's the African disease but since it kills very quickly, Col. Daniels feels that it's been contained until another outbreak. Suspenseful, well-crafted thriller movie, very entertaining.

"Virus-scare" of our time!!!!
Added 7/2/2009
This is one fantastic movie!!! I belive that everyone should take the time to watch this film, cuz' it illustates what could "really" happen, if a virus infection had an outbreak-hence, the title.
The director: Wolfgang Peterson, has also had some other great films as well-such as: TROY, POSEIDEN, Das BOOTE (I've never seen das boote; been meaning to check it out-i heard it's such a great German-made film!!).
The movie, "OUTBREAK" is also filled with a good amount of action and suspense, thus also making it high on my list of good flix!!!
So, check out OUTBREAK ASAP-you won't be disappointed!!!!!

As great as the first time I watched it! This is a classic power gone bad film! Can this really happen? Bet your bottom dollar it can... and has! Watch it, love it, and watch it again!

Seems silly now.

Outbreak was a huge hit when it was released over a decade ago and this is a good movie but the subject matter feels dated now. Dustin Hoffman is great in this and so is Renee Russo, I just felt I have seen better films that deal with hysteria and panic. Outbreak is manufactured, plain and simple.
