The Andromeda Strain
An emergency is declared by the head of the US Air Force's Project Scoop when almost all of the residents of Piedmont are dead after the return to Earth of a space satellite. Friends of distinguished scientists led by Dr. Jeremy Stone scramble into a secure laboratory and attempt to first isolate the entire life form when discovering the two folks from Piedmont - a old alcoholic and also a six-month-old baby - survived. The boffins systematically study the life form oblivious it presents a much greater threat at the laboratory, which has a nuclear device built to keep the flow of dangerous biological agents and has already mutated. .
