1. Make a summary of the film. “Pandemic” 2007.
On a beach in Australia, two American surfers say goodbye to each other as one is
about to leave for his flight back to California. The two men don't notice the large
number of dead birds on the beach. On the flight, the surfer returning home starts
coughing up blood and dies before the plane can land. Back in Australia, the other
surfer is found dead in his apartment. Kayla Martin (Tiffani Thiessen) is a medical
doctor with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who has been
assigned to the case. She and the local officials carry the body of the surfer out of the
plane and start processing people to be put in quarantine until they can be evaluated for
exposure. During the transfer, one of the passengers escapes to complete a business deal
and unknowingly spreads the virus throughout Los Angeles. It is also revealed that
outbreaks of the so-called "riptide virus" (as it comes to be known), an offshoot of the
bird flu, are occurring in other cities around the world.

The situation is complicated further when one of the passengers, a convicted drug
lord being transported by the FBI, escapes with the help of associates and a number of
the other passengers, some of whom are infected. He proceeds to steal the medication
needed to fight the outbreak and blackmails the local and state officials. As the
epidemic worsens and the death toll rises all over California, the governor (Faye
Dunaway) and mayor (Eric Roberts) have to find a way around their political
differences so that they can make tough decisions dealing with the blackmail scheme, as
well as a frightened populace and all of the problems associated with a widespread and
deadly epidemic.

At the end, Kayla and her scientist team are able to find a cure: the drug lord's clear
immunity to the virus is caused by his concurrent tuberculosis infection. Tubercular
antibodies stop the virus from attaching to his lungs. They discover that administrating
antibodies from persons who have tuberculosis will cure the infected and give the others
immunity from the virus. Blood from tuberculosis-infected persons is purified and
administered to people, and Los Angeles is saved.
