该影片讲述的是人类与病毒抗争的故事。1967年在非洲扎伊尔莫他巴河谷雇佣兵军营中爆发了传染病这是该病毒首次被发现，那个时候还不能够通过空气传播，政府为了不让疫情继续扩散把整个军营炸了，由此可以看出在政府的利益面前人命根本不值一提。

30年后最先感染病毒的是走私野生猴子的吉堡，他被猴子的口水吐到嘴里，几个小时以后开始出现症状，然后通过与女朋友接吻又将病毒传染给女朋友，宠物店老板因为被猴子抓伤也感染上该病毒，去医院检查时，医生沾到该患者的血液，在不知情的情况下去电影院看电影，通过飞沫传播传染给该影院的人，病毒就这样扩散开来。该病传染速度快，死亡率高达百分之百，该影片给这种病毒命名为莫塔巴病毒，能够通过飞沫传播的则是变异后的莫塔巴病毒。感染者的前期有咳嗽、发烧等感冒症状，后来会有意识不清，眼，口，鼻均出现出血症状。该病毒比起著名的埃博拉病毒更为致命。

解决该病毒的方法就是找到原病毒的宿主也就是那只野生猴子，制作抗病毒血清，在主人公丹尼尔的不懈努力下找到了这只野生猴子制作出了血清，疫情终于得以控制。

影片开始前展示的是诺贝尔奖得主乔什瓦.李德伯格说过的一句话：“人类统治地球的最大威胁时病毒。”这句话相信对于正在经历新冠肺炎的我们来说应该更加深有体会。

极度恐慌观后感

《恐怖地带》虽然是部虚构的故事，但所反映的情形并非空穴来风。影片从不同的角度探讨了多方面的问题，环境保护，社会道德，科学与专政，社会生活与军事政治之间的冲突。

该片讲述美国病毒专家奉命调查非洲的扎伊尔莫他巴河谷神秘致命病菌，并防止病毒扩散的故事。

1967年，非洲扎伊尔莫他巴河谷的雇佣军兵营中流行了一种奇怪的疾病，人员不断死亡。美国军医抽取了感染血样后，乘坐直升机离开。傍晚，一架飞机飞来投下了燃料空气弹，整个兵营在一瞬间全被毁灭，只有惊恐的白脸猴在附近的树林中尖叫着。

山姆和索尔终于找到了那只猴子。他们持枪闯入了电视台，公布了事件的真相与此同时，得知这一消息的比利也在尽力拖延时间，以便山姆能够制造出新的抗体。

经过紧张的工作，山姆终于制出了新的抗毒剂，效果令人满意。山姆终于以其艰苦的斗争和坚强的意志解救了整个镇子的人们。

极度恐慌观后感英文？

Motaba, a fictional virus which causes a deadly fever, is discovered in the African jungle in 1967. To maintain the virus as a viable biological weapon, two U.S. Army officers, Donald McClintock and William Ford, destroy the camp where it was found after taking blood samples from the dying victims.
Twenty-eight years later, in 1995, the virus resurfaces in Zaire. Colonel Sam Daniels, a USAMRIID virologist, is sent to investigate. He and his crew, Lieutenant Colonel Casey Schuler, and new recruit Major Salt gain information about the virus and return to the United States, where Daniels asks his superior, now-Brigadier General William Ford, to put out an alert. Ford knows that the virus is not new, but he tells Daniels it is unlikely to show up. Daniels ex-wife and former crew-member Roberta Keough, has left USAMRIID to take the lead role of a similar team at the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia and is convinced by Daniels to recommend an alert from the CDC, but her superior balks as well.
Meanwhile, we learn that the virus arrived via a host animal, a white-headed capuchin monkey, that was smuggled into the United States. James "Jimbo" Scott, an employee at the Bio-Test animal holding facility, bribed a security guard and took the monkey to Cedar Creek, California, to sell on the black market. During the drive, Jimbo is infected with the virus through facial contact with the monkeys saliva.
Jimbo unsuccessfully tries to sell the monkey to a crooked pet store owner, Rudy Alvarez Before parting ways, however, the monkey scratches Alvarez and infects him, and shares a banana with another monkey already in the store, infecting that monkey as well. Not able to care for the monkey, Jimbo releases it into the woods. Jimbo starts to show signs of infection while flying to Boston, where he gets off the plane and kisses his girlfriend Alice, infecting her as well just before collapsing. They are both hospitalized. Keough investigates the infections but finds that no one other than Jimbo, his girlfriend or Rudy all three of whom die of hemorrhagic fever in the Boston area was infected.
Meanwhile, the technicians at a Cedar Creek hospital run tests on Rudys blood. But Henry, one of the technicians, accidentally breaks a vial, splattering the contents, infecting and killing him, but not before visiting a movie theater. The virus mutates into a new strain, capable of spreading like flu, and numerous Cedar Creek citizens are exposed to Motaba at the theater. Daniels learns of the infection and flies to Cedar Creek alongside Schuler and Salt, against Fords orders, joining Keoughs team.
As Daniels and his team begin a search for the host animal, a state of martial law is declared in Cedar Creek, and the U.S. Army has quarantined the town to contain the outbreak, including preventing an attempt by civilians from breaking quarantine. During their research, Schuler is infected when his suit tears. Keough follows after she accidentally stabs herself with a contaminated needle while collecting samples due to Schuler suddenly convulsing. A mystery serum, E-1101, is introduced to those suffering from Motaba. Daniels soon realizes that the serum is not experimental, but was designed to cure Motaba, and that Ford knew about the virus beforehand. However, the serum does not help the residents of Cedar Creek, who are infected by a mutated strain. Daniels confronts Ford, who admits that he withheld information on the virus due to national security and Motabas potential to be turned into a biological weapon.
Daniels learns from Ford of Operation Clean Sweep, a plan by the military to bomb the town of Cedar Creek, with approval from the President of the United States. Now-Major General Donald McClintock plans to use the bombing to cover up the viruss existence to protect his secret biological weapon project. To prevent Daniels from finding a cure, McClintock has him arrested by implicating Daniels as a viral carrier. This leads Daniels and Salt to search for the host animal to save the town by escaping custody by helicopter. After the animal holding facility who had been aiding Daniels by tracking down how the host animal got into the country learns what happened from the security guard about what Jimbo did, the two are able to track down the ship that carried the host animal and Daniels obtains a picture of Betsy and broadcasts it on the news. Mrs. Jeffries realizes that this is the animal her daughter Kate is playing with in their backyard. She calls the station, and the two men arrive at the familys house, though Colonel Briggs intercepts the call and informs McClintock of Daniels and Salts location who heads out to intercept them by helicopter. Kate coaxes out Betsy, whom Salt tranquilizes. Learning from Daniels that the host animal is captured, Ford delays the bombing.
