Two years after the novel's publication, Robert Wise (The Haunting) directed the film adaptation, a nail-biting blend of clinically-realised docudrama and astonishing sci-fi visuals that ushered in a new subgenre: the \"killer virus\" biological thriller. A government satellite crashes outside a small town in New Mexico - and within minutes, every inhabitant of the town is dead, except for a crying baby and an elderly derelict. The satellite and the two survivors are sent to Wildfire, a top-secret underground laboratory equipped with a nuclear self-destruct mechanism to prevent the spread of infection in case of an outbreak. Realizing that the satellite brought back a lethal organism from another world, a team of government scientists race against the clock to understand the extraterrestrial virus - codenamed \"Andromeda\" - before it can wipe out all life on the planet. Aided by innovative visual effects by Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey, Silent Running) and an unforgettable avant-garde electronic music score by Gil Melle (The Sentinel), Wise's suspense classic still haunts to this day, and is presented here in a stunning, exclusive new restoration from the original negative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew restoration by Arrow Films from a 4K scan of the original camera negative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh Definition (1080p) Blu-Ray presentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal uncompressed mono audio, newly remastered for this release\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio commentary by critic Bryan Reesman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA New Strain of Science Fiction, a newly-filmed appreciation by critic Kim Newman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Andromeda Strain: Making The Film, an archive featurette from 2001 directed by Laurent Bouzereau and featuring interviews with director Robert Wise and screenwriter Nelson Gidding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Portrait of Michael Crichton, an archive featurette from 2001 directed by Laurent Bouzereau and featuring an interview with author Michael Crichton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCinescript Gallery, highlights from the annotated and illustrated shooting script by Nelson Gidding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheatrical trailer, TV spots and radio spots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImage gallery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBD-ROM: PDF of the 192-page “cinescript” with diagrams and production designs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Corey Brickley\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbit DVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45843633373228,"sku":"5027035020747U","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/4303027-3129796.jpg?v=1784996847","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/the-andromeda-strain-region-b-used","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
