Re: Good Movies
Few years back I heard that the Pentagon had hired several Hollywood scenario writers to devise worst-case scenarios so that the Pentagon could devise solutions to them... those Hollywood scenario writers can devise a pretty nasty worst-case scenario. Especially some of the disaster movies I've seen look very menacing.
I think it says something about the quality of the Hollywood people when the Pentagon chooses to hire them as part of a worst-case scenario think-tank.

Re: Good Movies
I recall a movie that did something like that, but for the life of me I cannot recall the name. It had Tootse in it.

Are you thinking of Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman and Renee Russo? |

Re: Good Movies
Dustin Hoffman yes, but I think the movie was that he was a hollywood producer and made fake news stories for the Pentagon or something. I am not sure.

Re: Good Movies
YES, that was it. I can't speak to how good or bad it is as I really do not recall the movie all that well. Thank you Mephisto.
