Jericho Fever is the
term used for a deadly virus that was contracted in Jericho,
Mexico and is now being transported over the border by a group
of fleeing terrorists.
The Israeli
Intelligence battle against the FBI for the capture of a group
of Palestinian terrorists. The terrorists, after performing an
act of sabotage against Israeli Intelligence based in Mexico,
flee across the border into California. Unfortunately, Svi,
the leader of the group, has become deathly ill with a very
high fever after scraping his arm in an underground sewer.
Little does the group know just how devastating this fever is
to become and how many lives it will take, theirs included.
Animal action was
limited to one opening scene in which three rats are seen
walking along a ledge in a sewer. The rats had been placed on
the ledge by their handler and filmed. The were retrieved by
the handler right after the scene was shot. A dog is also
present in one background scene.
