The Andromeda Strain Plot and Cast
The head of the US Air Force's Project Scoop declares an emergency when almost all residents of Piedmont, New Mexico are found dead following a satellite's return. Dr. Jeremy Stone and other eminent scientists race to a secure laboratory, first trying to isolate the life form and determine why two locals—an old alcoholic and a six-month-old baby—survived. They methodically study the alien organism, unaware it has already mutated and now poses a far greater danger inside the lab, which is equipped with a nuclear self-destruct device to prevent the escape of dangerous biological agents.
