Film is forever.
In short, the voices of Morgan Freeman and Donald Sutherland have to drop a bomb and waste civilians and soldiers alike in order to neutralize a bad bug. Or, at least keep the spread of the disease to a minimum before the town gets turned into a parking lot by the evil, soulless Donald Sutherland. The monkey smuggler keeps a picture of his girlfriend in his foot locker, but a picture of the infected monkey is right above his bed. There's nothing Cuba Gooding can't do. Well, except remove his helmet before he vomits in it.
