Product Details:
When cattle mysteriously start dying of anthrax in a small Alberta ranching community, an RCMP officer (Cameron Daddo) tries to keep the peace as ranchers lay the blame on a local agricultural research center. A reporter (David Keith) encourages the angry ranchers – led by the Mountie’s mother-in-law (Joanna Cassidy) – to stage a sit-in at the research center.
When an eccentric old rancher (Jan Rubes) dies after being exposed to a deadly strain of anthrax, the protesters are quarantined. No one notices that the reporter has disappeared – along with several vials of the deadly bacteria. The RCMP officer begins his own investigation, gleaning information from a U.S. government agent (William B. Davis). He finds himself racing against time to recover the stolen anthrax.
