strangers: Matt Damon as a citizen experiencing his family and friends dying all around him while society crumbles; Laurence Fishburne as the Director of the CDC who not only has to face the media, but work with his team to find a cure for the HEV - 1 virus; Kate Winslet as a CDC field agent on her first assignment; Jude Law as the blogging internet prophet who may have
ulterior motives behind his website; and Marion Cotillard as a doctor from the W.H.O as she investigates the origins in China.
