The Andromeda Strain Infects A&E

  It’s a bad day to be human. . .

But it’s a great day to be a classic scifi fan.  This Memorial Day (May 26), A&E will unleash The Andromeda Strain.  This two-day, four hour miniseries comes to you from Ridley and Tony Scott so you know it’s going to be action packed.

This new adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel stars Benjamin Bratt, Eric McCormack, Ricky Schroder, Andre Braugher, Christa Miller, Daniel Dae Kim and Viola Davis.

In the story, a U.S. military satellite crashes in a small town and unleashes a deadly plague killing all but two survivors. As the military quarantines the area, a team of highly specialized scientists is assembled to find a cure to the pathogen, code-named “Andromeda,” and a reporter investigates a government conspiracy only to discover that what he is chasing wants him silenced.

We’ve got everything you need to know about The Andromeda Strain on A&E on our special show page.  Photos, bios, synopsis and more!
