The Plague ★½ 1992 (R) An outbreak of bubonic plague has turned the South American city of Oran into a prison, with no one permitted to leave until the disease has run its course. Hurt is the doctor trying to balance his duties with his own fears. Necessarily bleak adaptation of the Albert Camus novel is also slow-moving and long-winded—an equally deadly combination for the viewer. 105m/C VHS. FR SP William Hurt, Robert Duvall, Raul Julia, Sandrine Bonnaire, Jean-Marc Barr;
