Also interesting is the series' secondary storyline, which comes in the form of flashbacks to 1976, during the first EVD outbreak in Africa. It also shows the extreme reactions people had to the outbreak despite knowing little about it, thanks to media hype and the mass panic surrounding AIDS at that time. This intense real-life story highlights how ill-prepared federal and military agencies were when the Ebola virus appeared on U.S. But this doesn't lessen her concerns for her husband ( Noah Emmerich), her children (played by Aiden Glenn and Anna Pniowsky), and her dying father.
Jaax has the courage to do whatever she can to learn more about, and contain, the virus. Meanwhile, Trevor Rhodes (James D'Arcy), Carter's former colleague and now director of the Centers for Disease Control, wants to approach the situation more cautiously in order to avoid creating what can become a national panic. They must also track down every person exposed to the animals, and those with whom they may have come in contact with. Faced with resistance from her civilian colleague Peter Jahrling ( Topher Grace) and the military, Jaax relies on her mentor Wade Carter ( Liam Cunningham) to guide her efforts, and to convince those in charge that the disease must be contained by destroying the animals. When primates shipped from the Philippines to a private animal research facility owned by Walter Humbolt ( Robert Sean Leonard) begin dying, her tests reveal that they are dealing with a strand of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), works with the world's deadliest diseases in order to identify, contain, and find cures for some of the most fatal pathogens on the planet.
Nancy Jaax ( Julianna Margulies), a colonel in the U.S. Adapted from the book of the same name, THE HOT ZONE is a dramatic miniseries inspired by the true story of the 1989 outbreak of the Ebola virus in the United States.
