Description:
Also known as WW3, this pre-9/11 drama about a terrorist declaration of bio-war around the world is nightmarishly effective and especially timely with names like Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda tossed about by FBI characters. After bio-terror assaults on a cruise ship and at a baseball game result in thousands of deaths, one federal agent (Vanessa L. Williams) narrows the field of suspects while another (Timothy Hutton) is sent to engage his retired G-Man uncle (Lane Smith) and the latter's Russian counterpart (Michael Constantine)--both Nixon-era specialists in deploying mass diseases--in stopping the bacteria's spread. Meanwhile, the U.S. president has declared martial law, and Western intelligence discovers the chain of terrorist culpability includes Iraq, Syria, North Korea, and disaffected Russian scientists. Robert Mandel (The X-Files) directs with a terrifying deliberateness and powerful use of moviemaking basics: great makeup, sets, costumes, cinematography, and casting. --Tom Keogh
