Synopsis

In 1990, terrorists disguised as journalists manage to sneak into a biological research facility in the Mojave Desert where they detonate explosives and destroy the laboratory. This causes several rattlesnake lab specimens to escape. In the present day in the small California town of Santa Mira Springs, David Henning, a doctor at the local hospital, puzzles over two patients who expire within a matter of hours after being bitten by snakes. David forwards samples to his ex-wife Christine Edmonton, a civilian scientist with the Department of Defense virology research laboratory in Bethesda, and she identifies these as containing a heretofore-unknown virus. But her superior Major-General Arthur Manchek recognizes the samples as containing the same virus that the snakes that escaped from the laboratory in the Mojave were infected with. He contrives to switch samples to make Christine think that it is simply E. Coli and then orders a military cordon placed around Santa Mira. Christine travels to Santa Mira and joins David in searching for an antidote as the snakes continue to infect further victims. But what they do not realize is that Manchek’s superior General Sparks has ordered a Presidential Directive 7-12, which calls for the town to be destroyed by bombing, in order to cover up the existence of the virus.
