Izgleda da su u poslednje vreme u Hoivudu pored filmova sa zombijima hit postali i filmovi u kojima su opasni virus glavni "protagonisti".
Contagion,kod nas preveden kao Zaraza ili Smrtonosni virus (zavisno od medija) je novi film Stevena Soddedbergha coveka koji stoji iza serijala Ocean's Eleven,Syriana,Pleasentville itd itd.
Film govori o virusu koji se brzo siri i za koji "navodno" nema leka a od koga u vrlo kratkom roku polovina ljudi na zemlji umire i zbog koga WHO (World Healt Organization ili Svetska Zdrastvena Organizacija) proglasava pandemiju.

Plot Summary: An international traveler reaches into the snack bowl at an airport bar before passing her credit card to a waiter. A business meeting begins with a round of handshakes. A man coughs on a crowded bus...
One contact. One instant. And a lethal virus is transmitted.
When Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns to Minneapolis from business in Hong Kong, what she thought was jet lag takes a virulent turn. Two days later, she's dead in the ER and the doctors tell her shocked and grieving husband (Matt Damon) they have no idea why.
Soon, others exhibit the same mysterious symptoms: hacking coughs and fever, followed by seizure, brain hemorrhage...and ultimately, death. In Minneapolis, Chicago, London, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong, the numbers quickly multiply: one case becomes four, then sixteen, then hundreds, thousands, as the contagion sweeps across all borders, fueled by the countless human interactions that make up the course of an average day.
A global pandemic explodes.
At the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers mobilize to break the code of a unique biological pathogen as it continues to mutate. Deputy Director Cheever (Laurence Fishburne) tries to allay the growing panic despite his own personal concerns, and must send a brave young doctor (Kate Winslet) into harm's way. At the same time, amid a rising tide of suspicion over a potential vaccine—and who gets it first—Dr. Leonora Orantes (Marion Cotillard) of the World Health Organization works through the network of connections that could lead back to the source of what they're dealing with.
As the death toll escalates and people struggle to protect themselves and their loved ones in a society breaking down, one activist blogger (Jude Law) claims the public isn't getting the truth about what's really going on, and sets off an epidemic of paranoia and fear as infectious as the virus itself.

Realizacije je mogla da prodje i bolje budući da je Sodedberg bio režiser
Priča koliko toliko ima uporište u stvarnosti budući šta se sve dogadjalo oko svinjskog gripa i SARSa a ovaj film nam pruža uvid kako bi nam izgledala stvarnost kao i posledice da nas stvarno zadesi neki virus sa velikom stopom smrtnosti.
Takodje iako mnogi misle da je ovaj film radjen nekim skorašnjim dogadjajima iz naše prošlosti ipak nije tako. H1N1 se samo spominje i priča nije fokusirana na njega.
Jedna od stvari koja ovaj film izdvaja je što zapravo ovde nema "glavnih" likova.
Nema jednog heroja koji se ističe svojim herojstvom i koji na kraju pobedjuje.
Ovde su svi likovi na neki način glavni likovi. Teret zasluga za krajnji ishod je ravnomerno rasporedjen na sve likove.
Sve u svemu zanimljivo ostvarenje koje spada u onu grupu filmova "šta bi bilo kad bi bilo" (Day After Tomorrow,Deep Impact i sl)
