Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh directed the movie.
It features an ensemble cast including Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Ehle, and Sanaa Lathan.

Soderbergh oversaw the project to ensure the best result.
The upgraded version is visually stunning and fully uses Ultra HD’s 4K resolution, HDR, and a broader color spectrum. The result is an unparalleled home entertainment experience. The film tells a captivating story of how a deadly virus spreads rapidly through ordinary human interactions, ultimately causing a worldwide pandemic. As society begins to fall apart and the number of casualties increases, a blogger who is also an activist (played by Jude Law) questions the official narrative and causes widespread fear and paranoia, similar to how the virus spreads. To help the audience better understand the film’s themes, the Ultra HD Blu-ray disc and Digital release come with special features previously released. These features include “The Reality of Contagion,” “The Contagion Detectives,” and “Contagion – How a Virus Changes the World.” They offer a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the film and how it relates to real-world contagion scenarios.
