Hall continues his work on the survivors and finds out that Andromeda propagates only within a narrow pH range and that the baby's rapid breathing kept its blood alkaline and therefore inhospitable for the organism. Hall rescues Leavitt from a photosensitive epilepsy seizure triggered by Wildfire's alarm system. Meanwhile, Andromeda mutates into a form that degrades synthetic rubber and plastics and thus escapes from the containment room adjacent to where Dutton is working, trapping him in an atmosphere laced with the agent. Reversing their opinion, they now insist the Piedmont bombing be stopped.ĭuring analysis, the team comes across a germ warfare simulation, indicating that Scoop and Wildfire were designed to actively search for harmful biological agents for use in bio-warfare. They deduce that a nuclear explosion would provide Andromeda with enough energy to produce a supercolony in a single day. Further study of Andromeda, however, reveals that it has a crystalline structure which allows it to convert energy to mass and vice versa, consuming any available resource without waste. They then discover that Piedmont has in fact not yet been bombed due to the caution of the President, and that a fighter flying over Piedmont crashed. However, it lacks amino acids, enzymes, or proteins. This causes her to report, erroneously, that Andromeda grows on every growth medium.ĭuring chemical study of the agent, the team finds out that the meteorite is in fact made of plastic and that the green mass is a lifeform of similar chemical composition to Earth life.

Unknown to the others, Leavitt's research is impaired by attacks of absence epilepsy, which is set off by the flashing red "No Growth" indicator on the Petri dish analyzer. They conclude that something inside the plane consumes plastic, foreshadowing later developments at Wildfire. The military inspects the wreck and finds that the pilot's flesh has dissolved, leaving only bones. Meanwhile, a fighter jet pilot, flying over Piedmont at high altitude, notices his plastic mouthpiece disintegrating. By analyzing their patients' blood and conferring with Peter Jackson (the old man, played by George Mitchell), they discover that he has abnormally acid blood from drinking "Squeeze" ( Sterno) to relieve his stomach ulcer. Both Hall and his nurse assistant work in encapsulating suits while in the contaminated "hot room".

While most of the team studies the agent in an attempt to figure out how it works, Hall tries to find a cure by figuring out why the old man and the baby survived. After searching the satellite with a high-powered microscope, they discover the agent responsible for the deaths: a greenish, throbbing mass stowed away on a micrometeorite. The team begins to experiment on the agent inside Scoop 7 and discovers that it is transmitted by air, kills lab animals instantly, and is too large to be a virus. The team enter the facility under the impression that Piedmont has already been sterilized by a nuclear bomb. He is entrusted with a key to disarm the bomb from designated substations within that window. Before decontamination, Hall is informed that the facility's nuclear device has been armed and will go off automatically within five minutes should there be a containment breach.
ANDROMEDA STRAIN MOVIE CAST FULL
Ruth Leavitt, are summoned from their academic and research appointments to arrive at a top secret, high-tech underground laboratory in Nevada, named Wildfire, where they undergo a full day of decontamination procedures, descending through five rigorous disinfection levels of the lab. The entire team of four core research scientists, including Dr. Stone and Hall retrieve Scoop 7 and find two survivors - a 62-year-old man and an infant (who "can't be more than 6 months old"). Hall cuts open the doctor's corpse and finds that all of his blood has clotted and turned to powder. They find the town's doctor, who died after opening the satellite out of curiosity. Mark Hall ( James Olson), the team surgeon, are dropped in Piedmont by helicopter, where they search the town for Scoop 7 in hazmat suits. Jeremy Stone ( Arthur Hill), the team leader, and Dr. Suspecting the satellite may have brought back an extraterrestrial pathogen, Scoop Mission Control activates an elite scientific team it had previously recruited for just this type of emergency. They find townspeople dead in the streets and die themselves while reporting back to Scoop Mission Control. government's "Project Scoop" investigate the town of Piedmont, New Mexico, to retrieve the Scoop 7 satellite.
