Apocalypse domani (1980)
Durante la guerra del Vietnam, un plotone di marines libera due prigionieri, Tom Thompson e Charlie Bukowski. Mentre il capitano Norman Hopper (John Saxon) tenta di tirarli fuori dalla fossa viene morso al braccio da Thompson. L'ufficiale si sveglia sul suo letto, sconvolto. Anni dopo, negli Stati Uniti, Charlie Bukowski viene dimesso dall'ospedale psichiatrico. Telefona al capitano Hopper e gli dà un appuntamento. Il ragazzo, tuttavia, presenta segni di squilibrio e decide di barricarsi armato dentro un supermercato. Tornato in ospedale, l'ex marine riesce a liberarsi e scatena insieme a Tom Thompson una rivolta, aggredendo infermieri e dottori. Si scopre che un virus altamente contagioso è contenuto nella saliva dei soldati. Anche Hopper viene infettato e, per evitare di essere scoperto, decide di nascondersi insieme a sua moglie e ai due militari. La polizia riesce comunque a rintracciarli.
