Waterborne is a 2005 movie that tells the story of a city struck by a deadly water-borne virus. The movie captures the fear and panic that sweeps through the community as people struggle to maintain their sanity and find ways to survive in the face of an invisible enemy. The story begins with a group of friends who decide to take a weekend trip to a desolate beach near their city. While they were enjoying their weekend getaway, they become oblivious to the fact that a deadly waterborne virus is spreading through the city's water supply. When they return to the city, they are unaware that they have brought the virus back with them.

The film is set in a post 9/11 world, and the fear of a terrorist attack is palpable. The city is on high alert, and there is a sense of unease and paranoia in the air. The government has enforced a curfew to prevent the virus from spreading, but it is already too late. People are falling ill with alarming speed, and the hospitals are overwhelmed with patients.

The story focuses on three main characters, Josh (Christopher Masterson), Tony (Jake Muxworthy), and Bobby (Jon Gries). Josh is a cameraman for a local news station and is tasked with covering the outbreak. Tony is a street-smart young man who is forced to navigate the dangers of the city to keep himself and his sister safe. Bobby is a washed-up musician who sees the outbreak as an opportunity to make a quick buck.

As the virus spreads, the city descends into chaos. Food and water become scarce, and people turn on each other in a bid to survive. There are no heroes, only ordinary people struggling to stay alive.

The film is shot in a pseudo-documentary style, which adds to the sense of realism. The shaky camera and quick cuts create a sense of urgency and convey the chaos of the situation. The acting is also top-notch, with Masterson, Muxworthy, and Gries all delivering powerful performances.

Waterborne is a sobering look at what can happen when a city is hit by a deadly virus. The film offers an unflinching portrayal of the breakdown of society and the lengths people will go to survive. It is a cautionary tale that is sure to leave an impression on viewers.

Overall, Waterborne is a well-made and thought-provoking film. It's not an easy watch, but it's a film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic movies, then Waterborne is definitely worth checking out. It's a movie that will make you think, and maybe even make you appreciate the world we live in a little bit more.
