Watch: The Andromeda Strain 1971 123movies, Full Movie Online – When virtually all of the residents of Piedmont, New Mexico, are found dead after the return to Earth of a space satellite, the head of the US Air Force’s Project Scoop declares an emergency. Many years prior to this incident, a group of eminent scientists led by Dr. Jeremy Stone (Arthur Hill) advocated for the construction of a secure laboratory facility that would serve as a base in the event an alien biological life form was returned to Earth from a space mission. Stone and his team – Drs. Dutton, Leavitt and Hall (David Wayne, Kate Reid, and James Olson, respectively)- go to the facility, known as Wildfire, and try to first isolate the life form while determining why two people from Piedmont (an old wino and a six-month-old baby) survived. The scientists methodically study the alien life form unaware that it has already mutated and presents a far greater danger in the lab, which is equipped with a nuclear self-destruct device should it manage to escape..

Sci-Fi That Feels Smart Whether or Not It Actually Is
The science behind “The Andromeda Strain” may be a big crock of hooey, but the people who made it do a good job of at least making it seem credible, which goes a long way toward making the film much more effective as a sci-fi thriller than others of its type.Robert Wise was a good, solid director. He had a distinctly mainstream sensibility as a filmmaker, but his mainstream films were always especially assured and intelligent. He does a great job keeping this talky sci-fi film moving, and it’s really creepy, especially in this age when the media is just waiting to pounce on the THE BIG ONE, the deadly virus that’s going to emerge and wipe out humanity. The ending to “The Andromeda Strain” is a bit easy — the virus just evolves to become harmless and floats away in a big cloud — and comes as a bit of a let down after all of the work the film does to create just an atmosphere of tense dread up to that point. But the rest of the movie is good enough that the limp ending doesn’t make the rest of the film feel like a waste of time.
“The Andromeda Strain” was nominated for two Oscars, one for Best Art Direction (long-time Wise collaborator Boris Leven and William Tuntke) and Best Film Editing (Stuart Gilmore and John W. Holmes), both of which were strongly deserved.
