The Plague Dogs
1982 · TMDB 7.8
Directed by Martin Rosen
Two dogs, Rowf and Snitter, struggle to survive in the countryside after escaping from an animal research laboratory. They're pursued by search parties and then the military after rumours spread that they could be carrying the bubonic plague.
Why it matters
Two dogs escape a research laboratory and try to survive in the Lake District while the authorities hunt them as a supposed plague risk. Martin Rosen's second Richard Adams adaptation is bleaker than the first, and just as beautifully drawn.
