A Paradise Built in Hell
A Paradise Built in Hell
“Before the illness gets him, a thug guns him down near the waterfront. It’s just an ordinary murder until the coroner discovers the man was infected with pneumonic plague, an airborne and highly contagious form of bubonic plague, the disease that as the Black Death once wiped out a third of all Europeans. This is where the public health officer steps in. To prevent an epidemic, he’s got forty-eight hours to track down all the people who came into contact with the dead man and inoculate them—and... he needs to keep the press silent, lest there be panic. A lot of officials are skeptical about the gravity of the situation, but a cop works with him—and to keep things quiet jails the reporter who’s got the story. We’re meant to believe that a free press and an informed public are a menace, because that public would behave badly were it to find out what dangers face it. That’s why the movie is called Panic in the Streets.
