Surrogates - Movie about a future where the American people live all their lives through robotic surrogates that make murder a thing of the past until a new technology is used to destroy the surrogate of/kill the son of the man who had originally invented Surrogates, which in turn sparks a civil war that a single FBI agent, disposessed from his Surrogate for the first time in years and in command of only his own body, is trying to stop.
The Crazies - A USAF cargo plane transporting a top-secret specimen crashes into the river that feeds the water supply of a small town in the American Midwest, isolated from any other form of civilization. The infectious disease turns ordinary, normal human beings into crazed, sadistic killers. The sheriff, his deputy, and the sheriff's pregnant wife seem to be the only ones not infected and attempt to break through the Army blockade of the town.
The Rock - When former Marines (some of them disgruntled Vietnam veterans) seize control of the prison of Alcatraz and threaten to launch 15 VX-gas rockets (a teaspoon of VX gas is capable of killing 8 city blocks) at San Fransisco unless a sum of $100-million dollars is paid in order to compensate to the families who had lost people in the Vietnam War, the FBI recruits the help of the only prisoner ever known to get off of Alcatraz island in an attempt to stop the Marines before it's too late.
Terminator: Salvation - The year is 2018, and Skynet has given up on the idea of sending Terminators back in time, instead deciding to find and kill Kyle Reese and John Connor (both members of the large militaristic Human Resistance) in the present time, using a new form of Terminator more human than anything that had ever been devised before--the only problem is that the Terminator thinks it is human and vehemently opposes Skynet when it learns what it truly is.
