The Hot Zone

In 1989, Ebola landed on U.S. soil. After appearing in a research lab in D.C., a heroic U.S. Army scientist put her life on the line to prevent an outbreak. Inspired by true events and starring Julianna Margulies, ‘The Hot Zone’ is a special 3-night limited series on Nat Geo, starting Monday May 27th.

Scenes with the macaques were achieved with CG animals, created by DNEG. The studio looked to real monkeys for reference, while also adding extra sores and other forms of neglect to show the hardship they have been through.

Inspired by true events!
