OK, need a bit of help here. Old movie

As others have already told you., the movie is
The Andromeda Strain.

However, do yourself a favor and buy the book
instead. It's MUCH better than the movie.

I've been waiting for the past few years, with
Michael Crichton a hot Hollywood property
and many remakes being done, that someone
would remake this movie... with today's new
special effects and a good dramatic director,
I think you could really have a tense movie
akin to Outbreak.

I think you'll wait a long time - with very few exceptions, films and
especially remakes have got a lot dumber. The Andromeda Strain film was
a remarkably good translation, IMO. I liked the Apollo 11 reference -
this should be going to sci.space.history, not sci.space.shuttle. I
could have done without them killing a real monkey, though.
