war.

And when did they clone Pat?

Dunno, but surely the real Pat would have caught on to the "Michael
Crichton hates Scientists" theme, and would have had the Chief Bad Guy
be not the General but the Chief of Design at the Rocket Bureau (with
initials BvW).

The Andromeda Strain (1971)
A U.S. Army satellite (Scoop VII) falls to earth near Piedmont, New Mexico.
The recovery team experiences difficulties as it becomes clear that the
satellite has performed its intended function all too well, and has brought
back something from space. A team of scientists is assembled in a high-tech,
underground facility to identify and defeat the "enemy" before it is too
late.

OK, need a bit of help here. Old movie, a spacecraft lands, all the
people in
the city are killed, except for two people, the craft is brought into a
place
in the desert, buried deep, multiple levels, way down, and they try to
isolate
what the bug is and then neutralize it. I thin two people survive the bug
in
the city, a baby who is crying and an old geezer (drunk?) and that
provides
the key to the solution.

They have a contamination of the facility, really a germ warfare place,
and
the hero with the key had to get it into a station and then disarm the
bomb
that will destroy the joint, attacked with lasers and all, makes it with
seconds to spare.

Thanks in advance - I did try searching on the www but couldn't find it.
