Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Timothy Hutton and Vanessa Williams star as FBI agents in a thriller about a biological attack on the U.S. The attackers: a loosely linked band of Arabs and Russians. First, a Lebanese national releases a "hot virus" aboard a cruise ship off San Diego, killing 1500. Then an Iraqi does the same in a Chicago ballpark. And a Russian with a similar idea is on the loose in D.C. The FBI had better work fast because, as a formerly Soviet bioengineer puts it, certain death is spread "cough by cough.", Timothy Hutton stars as a government agent dealing with the aftermath of a biological attack in this thriller from director Robert Mandel (School Ties). In the wake of a deadly outbreak on a cruise ship, it becomes clear that the U.S. has been hit by a terrorist attack. As the virus spreads, it's up to Agent Sullivan (Hutton) to track down those responsible and prevent the entire country from becoming infected. Winds of Terror was originally broadcast on the Fox network as WW3.
