    photo for The Andromeda Strain The Andromeda Strain (1971) Arthur Hill, David Wayne, James Olsen, Kate Reid. Before he created Westworld and Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton first blurred the line between science fiction and science fact with his breakout success "The Andromeda Strain." Two years after the novel's publication, Robert Wise directed the film adaptation, a nail-biting blend of clinically-realized 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, Wise's suspense classic still haunts to this day, and is presented here in a stunning, exclusive new 4K scan and restoration from the original negative. Formats: Blu-ray. Extras: Audio commentary by critic Bryan Reesman; "A New Strain of Science Fiction," a newly-filmed appreciation by critic Kim Newman; "The 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; "A Portrait of Michael Crichton," an archive featurette from 2001 directed by Laurent Bouzereau and featuring an interview with author Michael Crichton; "Cinescript Gallery," highlights from the annotated and illustrated shooting script by Nelson Gidding; theatrical trailer, TV spots and radio spots; image gallery; BD-ROM: PDF of the 192-page “cinescript” with diagrams and production designs; reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Corey Brickley; FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Peter Tonguette and archive publicity materials.
