The Andromeda Strain (1969) -- A military satellite returns to earth, and a recovery team, in a single van, to avoid suspicion, is sent out to retrieve the satellite by radio detection. They think the satellite that was designed to find upper-atmosphere microorganisms for germ warfare crash-landed in the town of Piedmont (New Mexico in the movie). While on a live radio connection to the military base, the recovery team dies. Piedmont's only survivors, the sick, Sterno-addicted, geriatric Peter Jackson and the always-crying infant, Jamie Ritter, are about as opposite as two humans can be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_Strain#Plot_summary Jan 19 08, 8:18 AM
