Abstract (Spanish):	Las pandemias siempre han sido una de las grandes preocupaciones de la humanidad dado que en algún momento de la historia han azotado a la población mundial. La situación actual generada por el coronavirus, ha hecho que las películas sobre infecciones, epidemias, pandemias, etc., hayan sido las más visionadas en diferentes plataformas de streaming, debido al confinamiento que hemos tenido que padecer. Este trabajo pretende hacer una visión general de las principales y más llamativas películas que tratan sobre distintos aspectos de patologías por contagios virales. Este tipo de películas siempre ha mostrado gran interés en la población, siendo por lo general muy rentables económicamente para las productoras cinematográficas. Con la visualización de estas películas se busca contribuir, a una sensibilización de la población mundial y poder difundir y promover medidas higiénico-sanitarias. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
