Plus, a lot was already spent on special effects and equipment for the movie. This was good because it heightened the realism of the film, however I think the practical reason for this is because Crichton was not yet famous and the studios really didn't want to commit huge money to the film. Arthur Hill, James Olsen and David Wayne are these very recognizable but generally unheralded actors.
This is because the stars are people who usually were supporting actors in movies and mostly TV during this era. "The Andromeda Strain" features actors who are very familiar but whose names you won't readily recognize. A crack team of scientific experts are then mobilized in a high-tech and super-top secret base to find out what caused these deaths and how to stop it from potentially destroying everyone on Earth. A space probe launched by the US has crashed there and inexplicably the townspeople all appear to be dead. It's obvious that this Michael Crichton story is not marketed to the same mass audience as his "Jurassic Park". Why? Well, the film is very slow-paced, crammed with scientific jargon and has nothing but supporting actors-no big stars.
However, I also realize that it's not the sort of film that many, if not most, would not particularly enjoy. I like this film and have seen it several times. Reviewed by MartinHafer 8 / 10 Very good.but probably not a film for the average viewer. The scientists methodically study the alien life form unaware that it has already mutated and presents a far greater danger in the lab, which is equipped with a nuclear self-destruct device should it manage to escape. Dutton, Leavitt and Hall (David Wayne, Kate Reid, and James Olson, respectively)- go to the facility, known as Wildfire, and try to first isolate the life form while determining why two people from Piedmont (an old wino and a six-month-old baby) survived. Jeremy Stone (Arthur Hill) advocated for the construction of a secure laboratory facility that would serve as a base in the event an alien biological life form was returned to Earth from a space mission.
Many years prior to this incident, a group of eminent scientists led by Dr. When virtually all of the residents of Piedmont, New Mexico, are found dead after the return to Earth of a space satellite, the head of the US Air Force's Project Scoop declares an emergency.
