Category 1990s , Plagues , Post Apocalyptic , TV Series
Year: 1994
Country: US
Time: 360 minutes
Cast:
Gary Sinise, Jamey Sheridan, Molly Ringwald, Ruby Dee, Corin Nemec
 
Plot:

After a killer virus is released from a government Lab almost all of America’s population is wiped out.

 

The few survivors immune to the virus journey across the country to a small town in the mid west. But their hope of rebuilding civilisation is shattered as it soon becomes apparent that their fight for survival is only just beginning.

 

A tale of good against evil this is one of the best Stephen King stories to be translated onto the small screen.  Being in the format of a mini series rather than a feature film it allowed time for an even greater development of the characters and the story. Stephen King also has small role in this.

 

Editors Rating: 9/10

+1 #1 Ste Jacobs 2009-07-02 13:33 This is absolutley fantastic. I remember watching this back in the 90's when it was first shown on BBC 1, I was absolutely gripped by the story and the characters. One of the best mini series I've ever seen. I think it was this and 12 Monkeys that got me into the whole apocalyptic movie thing. Ste Quote
