Adaptation of a novel by Michael Crichton. From 1971. The first hour was largely exposition...educating the audience on biowarfare and the facility that is the set. I'll bet this was pretty futuristic when released but that was forty years ago and most of this "high tech" is retro now. They even used dial phones.
The story was formulaic with the obligatory grousing by the characters and artificial tension. Lots of whiz-bang cuts. For all its faults it did hold me easily and came to a satisfying resolution.
