Outbreak  (1995) - Wolfgang Petersen's sci-fi drama has a military
conspiracy with germ warfare plot mixed with action thrills and medical horror. In one scene, Bell 204/ UH-1B Hueys fill the sky when martial law
is declared to quarantine a small US town.
Later, the heroic doctor (Dustin Hoffman) risks a midair collision by ordering the pilot of his unarmed chopper (an MD-500D) to hover in the flight
path of a bomber plane, forcing it to veer off and abort its attack mission. Other helicopters appearing in the film include: Bell UH-1B and Bell
206L Long Rangers (supposedly from Zaire's air force), Bell 206B JetRanger III as a TV news chopper, and Hughes (MD 500D) OH-6 Cayuse gunships.
