Contagion is a 2011 American medical thriller film directed by Steven Soderbergh.
The film has an ensemble cast that includes Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, and Bryan Cranston.
Contagion follows the rapid progress of a lethal indirect contact transmission virus (fomite transmission) that kills within days. As the fast-moving pandemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than does the virus itself. As the virus spreads around the world, ordinary people struggle to survive in a society coming apart.
The film had a production budget of $60 million, and filming took place in countries around the world. It premiered on September 3, 2011, at the 68th Venice Film Festival and was publicly released on September 9, 2011, in the United States, Canada, Italy, Hong Kong, and four other territories. Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns from a business trip to Hong Kong, after briefly stopping in Chicago to cheat on her husband with an old flame.
Two days later, she collapses with severe seizures in her suburban Minneapolis home. Her husband, Mitch Emhoff (Matt Damon), rushes her to the hospital, but she simply has more seizures there, and dies from the unknown disease. Mitch returns home and finds that his stepson, Clark, has also died from similar symptoms. Mitch is put in isolation but turns out to be immune to the disease.
Contagion is directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Scott Z. Burns. The project was announced in February 2010 with the news that Matt Damon and Jude Law were cast in Contagion in their first collaboration since The Talented Mr. Ripley in 1999. They were later joined by the other star of that movie Gwyneth Paltrow. Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard joined the cast later in the month. Watch movie news online in H.D. quality.
