People are talking about 2014’s ‘Station Eleven’ again

A well-loved actor, Arthur Leander, collapses on the stage at the Elgin Theater in Toronto during a production of "King Lear." Paramedic Jeevan Chaudhary rushes to help him — but he and the other responders are unable to. Arthur succumbs to a heart attack.

As Jeevan moves in a questioning, sullen daze through the streets of Toronto, his friend Hua, who works at hospital tells him frantically to get out of the city, fast. A flight came in from Moscow and the passengers on it are suddenly filling up the hospitals and are dying one by one. We find out not much later that they have the “Georgia flu” and it will soon wipe out 99 percent of the world’s population.
