This movie is the perfect social dialogue symbol of a modern age anxiety about networking-related chaos.

A strange virus escapes in the body of a monkey and affects many people, motivating shrewd scientists and civil servants to try to control a potential outbreak.

Like "Leviathan" (1989), an offbeat science-fiction horror gem about mutation confusion, and "Ghost in the Machine" (1993), an under-rated science-fiction paranoia film about technology-gone-haywire, "Outbreak" (1995) raises questions about progress reflection.

If you suffer from Modern Era Manias, then "Outbreak" (1995) is for you.

The old world dealt with traffic-control problems such as the Black Plague and Jack the Ripper.

The new world deals with traffic-haywire problems such as AIDS and the Gulf War.

That's what makes "Outbreak" (1995) so timely --- it's a great social art symbol of modern-era focus on controlling paranoia.
