Eight square miles of the Nevada desert are put under quarantine following a chemical weapon explosion. Two scientists must deal with a sinister coverup while the hostile survivors fight to get out of the quarantined area.
Writerdirector Kelly Schwarze relates the gripping story at a constant pace, makes nice use of the desolate desert locations, maintains a grimly serious tone throughout, generates a good deal of nerve-wracking tension, and stages some exciting action with skill and flair. The solid acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Michael Tushaus as the eager Dr. Eli Dolton (Tushaus also composed the pounding score), Heung Wong as the sullen Dr. Tao Xing, Stu Chaiken as desperate father Sean, Justy Hutchins as the feisty Beth, Colin Ward as tough take-charge dude Victor, Michael O'Neal as the angry Cody, and Corey Taylor as ailing teen Elise.
