When a devastating plague transforms the living into ravenous undead, a diverse group of survivors—including a resourceful nurse, a determined officer, and a young couple—barricade themselves within a sprawling Midwestern shopping complex. Zack Snyder's visceral remake of George A. Romero's classic reimagines the zombie apocalypse with contemporary intensity, anchored by compelling performances from Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, and Mekhi Phifer. A masterclass in survival horror that balances social commentary with relentless tension.
