'''"Quarantine"''' is the second segment of the seventeenth episode from the [[television series]] [[The New Twilight Zone]].
==Synopsis==
Matthew Forman is an [[Strategic Defense Initiative|SDI]] weapons designer who is reanimated into an unknown future after being cryogenically frozen for an incurable illness for three centuries. He is greeted by Sarah, a [[telepathic]] woman of the future who not only performs [[psychic surgery]] on him to cure his disease, but introduces him to the agrarian post apocalypse community she lives in. A community with every need met through [[genetic engineering]], [[psionics]], and super science in harmony with nature, but also with a deadly secret. The community is threatened by the instigators of the war that are returning to Earth in an advanced [[theory of relativity|relativistic]] spacecraft. The commune cannot defend themselves, as violence and murder is not in their nature. They must trick the unfrozen arrival into destroying them with the last remaining weapon of the apocalypse: a particle beam satellite, or face what will be a clash of cultures once they arrive on Earth.
