Imagine a killer with the infectiousness of the common cold and the power of the Black Death, a killer so deadly it destroys 90% of those it touches. Such a killer exists - a virus called Ebola. Impossible to ignore, 'The Hot Zone' is the terrifying, true-life account of when this highly infectious virus spread from the rainforests of Africa to the suburbs of Washington in 1989. A secret SWAT team of soldiers and scientists were tasked with halting the outbreak - and they did. But now, that very same virus is back, and we could be just one wrong move away from a pandemic.
