Cinema is a training resource that has been used frequently to facilitate learning in the health sciences. The biomedical content of the film Virus is described and analyzed, aimed at presenting the massive contagion by influenza A H5N1 viruses. The virus by presenting mutations that favor contagion between animals and humans, has the potential to become a pandemic. During the film, shortcomings of the South Korean government are revealed since the actions to face this imminent pandemic do not take into account medical and scientific criteria, concurring in actions against humanity. A production with a plot of fiction, terror, and catastrophe where fear and paranoia are as contagious as the disease itself.
