Contagion is a 2011 medical thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Marion Cotillard, Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, and Jennifer Ehle. Contagion 's plot documents the spread of a virus transmitted by fomites, attempts by medical researchers and public health officials to identify and contain the disease, the loss of social order in a pandemic, and finally the introduction of a vaccine to halt its spread. To follow several interacting plot lines, the film makes use of the multi-narrative "hyperlink cinema" style, popularized in several of Soderbergh's films.Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns had collaborated on The Informant! (2009). Following that film's release, Burns brought up the idea of producing a medical thriller film depicting the rapid spread of a virus, which was inspired by various pandemics such as the 2003 SARS epidemic and the 2009 flu pandemic. To devise an accurate perception of a pandemic event, Burns consulted with representatives of the World Health Organization as well as noted medical experts such as W. Ian Lipkin and Lawrence "Larry" Brilliant. Principal photography started in Hong Kong in September 2010, and continued in Chicago, Atlanta, London, Geneva, and San Francisco until February 2011.

Contagion: Returning from a business trip to Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) has a stopover in Chicago to have sex with a former lover before returning to her family in suburban Minneapolis. At first, she appears to have contracted a cold during her trip. Her six year-old son from a previous marriage, Clark, also becomes symptomatic and is sent home from school. Beth's condition worsens and, two days later, she collapses with severe seizures in her home. Her husband, Mitch (Matt Damon), rushes her to the hospital, but she continues to have seizures and dies of an unknown cause. Because the disease that killed her affects the brain and central nervous system, pathologists attribute it to a meningoencephalitis virus.Mitch returns home and finds that Clark has also died from a similar infection. Mitch is put in isolation but seems to be immune to the disease. He and his daughter attempt to flee the city, but a quarantine has been imposed. They are forced to return home to face decaying social order and rampant looting of stores and homes. Not knowing whether Jory inherited his immunity, Mitch struggles with his frustration with quarantine and his desire to protect her, while trying to come to terms with the knowledge that his wife was cheating on him immediately prior to both her death and that of his stepson.In Atlanta, representatives of the Department of Homeland Security meet with Dr. Ellis Cheever (Laurence Fishburne) of the CDC and express fears that the disease is a bioweapon intended to cause terror over the Thanksgiving weekend. Dr. Cheever dispatches Dr. Erin Mears (Kate Winslet), an EIS officer, to Minneapolis to begin the investigation. In addition to tracing the outbreak back to Emhoff, Dr. Mears has to negotiate with local bureaucrats initially reluctant to commit resources and organize the public health response to the virus. Dr. Mears later becomes infected and dies.
