The Andromeda Strain Dvd

Win The Andromeda Strain Mini-Series On DVD

Sky Movies is proud to announce the network television premiere of The Andromeda Strain, a new mini-series based on the best-selling novel by Michael Crichton.

This edge-of-your seat, four-hour mini-series about a team of scientists investigating a deadly disease from an alien world will be screened in two parts on television for the first time.

The Andromeda Strain will be screened on Sky Movies Premiere

  • Part 1 - 8.00pm, Saturday 10 May
  • Part 2 - 8.00pm, Sunday 11 May

    To celebrate the DVD release of The Andromeda Strain, out Monday 19th May we’re giving away 10 copies of the mini-series signed by one of the producers – and a man who knows a thing or two about scares in space – Alien director, Ridley Scott.

    Forget space invaders with razor sharp tongues, acid blood or spaceships that can incinerate a city. Extra-terrestrial organisms of a microscopic kind pose a deadlier threat – as the residents of a small US town are about to discover.

    When a U.S. satellite crash-lands near the area it unleashes a deadly plague that kills virtually everyone except two survivors, who may provide clues to immunizing the population. As the military attempts to quarantine the area, a team of highly specialized scientists is assembled to find a cure and stop the spread of the alien pathogen, code-named Andromeda.

    From executive producers Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Gladiator) and Tony Scott (Numb3rs), The Andromeda Strain features an outstanding cast including Benjamin Bratt (Law & Order), Christa Miller (Scrubs), Eric McCormack (Will & Grace), Ricky Schroder (NYPD Blue), Andrew Braugher and Daniel Dae Kim (Lost).

    The Andromeda Strain mini-series 2 disc DVD is out from May 19th with extras including a making of documentary, visual effects featurette, photo and design gallery and an audio commentary by the show's producers.

    We've copies of the DVD signed by Ridley Scott to giveaway to 10 lucky readers. Just answer the following question correctly for your chance to win.
