A deadly virus is stolen from the high-security laboratory of a biotechnology company. Although the thief can be found, lifeless and bleeding from the nose and ears, the danger is not over yet: A gang of unscrupulous criminals is also on the hunt for the virus. Super-GAU at Oxenford Medical: A lab technician has stolen a rabbit infected with the deadly Madoba-2 virus from the high-security laboratory near Edinburgh. After the thief's gruesome death by infection, a frantic damage limitation operation begins. Toni Gallo, the head of security at Oxenford, realizes that the theft is only the prelude to an even greater catastrophe, because only a few days later criminals attack the laboratory and steal the virus. When a terrible snowstorm condemns the police to inactivity, Toni takes up the pursuit of the perpetrators alone...
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
