Full Plot Details

When a body is found in the New Orleans docks, it's pretty obvious that he died from gun shot wounds. The police surgeon notices that the man is also displaying other symptoms and Lt. Commander Clint Reed, a doctor with the U.S. Public Health Service, diagnoses a highly contagious disease, pneumonic plague. He tries to convince local officials to find everyone who may have been in contact with the dead man. The Mayor supports his efforts but many, including the police, are doubtful. Reed wants to avoid publicity so as not to panic the public. They have little information to go on - they don't know the dead man's identity - and Reed estimates they have 48 hours before disease begins to spread. With police Capt. Tom Warren going through the motions, Reed sets out to find the killers.

Movie Reviews

The New York Review of Books - 10/10 by Geoffrey O'BrienThe ostensibly documentary approach veers into something more dreamlike.
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffThere is vivid action, nice human touches and some bizarre moments. Jack Palance gives a sharp performance.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt, too, uses social commentary but it's so expertly folded into the story, and so gripping, that it succeeds as both art and entertainment.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyA taut thriller with a poignant message, Panic in the Streets, which won the Oscar for Motion Picture Story, is well directed by Kazan and well acted by Richard Widmark, Jack Palance, Zero Mostell (just before he was blacklisted) and others.
Cinema em Cena - 8/10 by Pablo VillaçaA premissa é interessante, mas é destruída pelo roteiro cheio de furos. Apesar de tudo, Jack Palance oferece um desempenho marcante em sua estréia no Cinema.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonBenefits immeasurably from a menacing turn by Jack Palance.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom MilneA classy thriller, much less laden with significance than most Kazan movies.
Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostSuperbly made look at scientists battling a contagious disease, with Widmark outstanding lead.
Filmcritic.com - 6/10 by Christopher NullThis comparably early Elia Kazan movie indicates just how prodigious his talents behind the camera could be.
User Review - 10/10 by Brian PGreat Film-Noir with the always bad-ass Richard Widmark and Jack Palance.
