Before he created Westworld and Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton first blurred the line between science fiction and science fact with his 1969 breakout success, The Andromeda Strain.
The 1971 film adaptation of the novel will infect 4K Ultra HD on May 15 from Arrow Video.
Robert Wise (The Haunting, Star Trek: The Motion Picture) directs the sci-fi thriller from a script by Nelson Gidding (The Haunting).

A government satellite crashes outside a small town in New Mexico – and within minutes, every inhabitant of the town is dead, except for a crying baby and an elderly derelict. The satellite and the two survivors are sent to Wildfire, a top-secret underground laboratory equipped with a nuclear self-destruct mechanism to prevent the spread of infection in case of an outbreak.
Realizing that the satellite brought back a lethal organism from another world, a team of government scientists race against the clock to understand the extraterrestrial virus – codenamed “Andromeda” – before it can wipe out all life on the planet.
Arthur Hill, James Olson, Kate Reid, David Wayne, Paula Kelly, and George Mitchell star.
Corey Brickley designed the new artwork for The Andromeda Strain, while the original poster is on the reverse side.
