After the experimental outings of There's Always Vanilla and Season of the Witch, Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero returned to more distinct horror territory with his 1973 infection opus The Crazies. When a plane carrying a secret biological weapon crash-lands near a small rural town, the area descends into chaos. Infected with a virus that triggers homicidal madness, the townspeople turn on each other in a violent frenzy. As the military quarantines the town and government agents clash with scientists over containment, a small group of survivors fights to escape and survive.
