    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The project was in development hell ever since the early 1990's when it was announced by 20th Century Fox as a feature film to be directed by Ridley Scott, starring Robert Redford and Jodie Foster. But due to script problems and the release of the similar-themed film Outbreak (1995) around that time, the project was shut down. The studio and Scott are still involved with the miniseries but Scott is only producing instead of directing it.

    Its a lifetime movie
    Margulies has an up and down choice of gigs, good like The Good Wife, awful like Ghost Ship. This role is not one of her best, the writers fail her. The story is well known and anyone who hasn't read the book should do so if they really want to know about what happened. The mini-series itself is nothing more than a lifetime movie, watch it while playing on internet, then forget it.
