starring
Lane Carroll , W. G. McMillan
When the inhabitants of a small town either die suddenly or are driven mad by a ' 'secret' virus which has accidentally polluted their water supply, the authorities declare martial law. But many of the townsfolk rebel and a state of armed rebellion ensues.
Romero's anarchic film has been seen as a savage allegory about Nixon's America and the opposition to the Vietnam war.
