Set in the 1990s (Camus's novel was set in 1940s), 'The Plague' tells the story of Dr. Bernard Rieux. The film takes place in the city of Oran, where several cases of plague have been recorded. At first, the authorities want to hide the disease from the population, but the news ends up reaching the citizens. Oran is in quarantine and the army surrounds the entire city, preventing anyone from getting in or getting out.
