Outbreak is a taut '90s thriller that hits differently in 2024—Dustin Hoffman and Rene Russo elevate what could've been a standard action flick into genuinely tense cat-and-mouse drama about bureaucracy vs. survival. Watch it tonight if you want a smart, propulsive thriller that proves you don't need jump scares to keep your heart racing.
