The Andromeda Strain (1971)
Both are Excellent!

I have the book and the movie and I still read the book on occasion and still watch the movie as well. To this day they scare the S**T out of me because IT COULD HAPPEN! With all the diseases and viruses running rampant today, not to mention genetic tampering, a scenario like this is very possible, if not probable. The book has a lot more detail than the movie but that is the way it usually goes. As for putting a female into the role that in the book is portrayed as a male is probably nothing more than studio politics. I liked her very much and it was nice to see a female character that isn't a blonde, blue-eyed, big-breasted idiot! Read the book and watch the movie, just don't do it alone or at night! :)
