Adrenalin: Fear the Rush is a science-fiction/action film made in 1996, but set in 2007. The Soviet Union has collapsed and Russia is in dismay. Out of this chaos an unknown virus covers the earth and eventually the United States.

[edit] Plot

The movie starts with what has become of the earth. The Soviet Union has dissolved into what is now Russia. Out of the east comes a mysterious virus that kills everybody in its way. The virus eventually reaches the western shores of the United States, and Boston is quarantined. A barrier, or wall, is set up between the "mainland" and Boston, and all immigrants are kept out of the US in fear that they may be carriers of the virus. The only people allowed to get out of the city are those with special passports, and those can only be gained by working with a government agency, or by the black market.

Officer Delon is a woman who desperately seeks a way out of the quarantine. She is about to give her son a black-market passport to the safe-zone when she is called in to duty.

A group of houligans are slaughtered by some kind of creature, and the police are called in. This creature seemingly has superhuman ability such as speed and armour. The police (Delon (Natasha Henstridge) and Lemieux (Christopher Lambert) among others) are sent in to capture or kill the creature, but it flees to the underground sewers. Slowly, the team is killed off one by one until Delon and Lemieux remains. Delon eventually stumbles upon a team of scientists, sent to kill the creature themselves, who claims that the creature is a carrier of the deadly virus, and if it is not killed, it will "explode" and spread the virus to everybody else. Delon is captured by the creature, with two others. She and Lemieux watches as the creature literally eats another officer. Delon manages to kick the creature unconscious to gain enough time to break loose from her restrains, grab a pistol and kill it with numerous shots.

Delon is rewarded with two passports to the safe-zone, one for her and one for her son.
