Short details of the story
The Crazies engages a biochemical warfare virus code-named "Trixie" that retrieves into the water source of Evans City, PA. It has two evenly unlikable effects, either slaughtering its victims outright or driving them desperately insane. The military moves down on the town like a plague of locusts, quarantining the area and dragging the scared citizens from their homes to be corralled at the local high school while the "powers that be" found out what to do.
Human interest circles around firefighting Nam vet David and his pregnant wife, Judy, who attempt to run off the quarantine, the virus, and the militant redneck locals whom Romero pictures as even more alarming than the soldiers. There's also an contaminated father and daughter, played by Richard Liberty (Day of the Dead) and pretty Lynn Lowry (Shivers), who gives the film's most excellent performance as an innocent waif who grieves the passing of her personal sanity.
