From case cover:
From acclaimed director Fernando Meirelles (The Constant Gardener) comes this extraordinarily intense and gritty thriller that will change your vision of the world forever.
Led by a powerful all-star cast featuring Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, and Danny Glover, this unflinching story begins when a plague of blindness strikes and threatens all of humanity. One woman (Moore) feigns the illness to share an uncertain fate in quarantine, where society is breaking down as fast as the crumbling surroundings. Based on Nobel Prize winner José Saramago's novel -- let Blindness lead you on a journey where the only thing more terrifying than being blind is being the only one that can see.
From IMDb:
A city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hoarding the meager food rations and committing horrific acts. There is, however, one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble.
DVD video; Dolby Digital 2.0; stereo; NTSC; Region 1; 1.85:1 as 16:9 widescreen.
