In England in the middle of the night, three  animal rights activists break into the Cambridge Primate Research Centre, where chimps are being  experimented on with videos of human rage, violence, and destruction. As the activists start  taking pictures, a scientist finds them and rushes to call security. The group stops him just in time  and captures him, so the scientist begs them not to do anything because the chimps are infected  with a highly contagious and very dangerous virus called "rage
". However the activists don’t take  him seriously and release one of the chimps, who immediately attacks and bites a woman with unbound  fury before one of the others kills it. While the other chimps go crazy in their cages, the woman  begins vomiting blood on the floor and at his friend’s face. The scientist says they must  kill her, but it’s too late: she transforms into a zombie and attacks all the people in the  room. Twenty-eight days later, Jim wakes up from a coma in an empty hospital. H
e leaves the room and  wanders around looking for people, but he doesn’t find a single soul, just chaos everywhere. After  grabbing some drinks from a vending machine, he leaves the building to explore London, finding the  city in the same condition: no people at all, but lots of destruction. When he finds a newspaper,  he learns that Britain has gone through a mass exodus, and on a huge bulletin board he finds  thousands of missing people signs. Eventually Jim enters a church, where he finds cr
eepy messages  on the walls. When he reaches the main room, he’s shocked to see it’s full of rotten bodies.  He says “hello” and a few people suddenly move, staring at him with blank faces. At that moment  the priest comes out, but he’s a zombie and tries to attack Jim, who hits him with his bag full of  cans. The priest is unbothered and tries to chase him, so Jim runs away. The other zombies also  leave the church and start chasing Jim, who runs as fast as he can until he reaches a gas station
.  There, survivors Mark and Selena begin throwing Molotov bombs at the zombies to burn them up, and  once Jim is safe with them, they throw a bomb at the gas station to blow it up. Afterward the duo  takes Jim to their hideout, which is an abandoned sweetshop in the London Underground. When Jim  tells them he had been in a coma because of a car crash, Selena explains that a highly contagious  virus escaped from a research center and continues to spread uncontrollably, turning people into  zombi
es and collapsing British society. Most of the population is now dead or affected, the army  was overpowered, and the government doesn’t exist anymore. Jim wants to go to his parents' home to  check on them and ignores Selena's warnings that they most likely are dead, so she and Mark agree  to go with him to stick together. In the morning, the trio carefully makes their way across a very  empty London and safely arrive at Jim's old home, where a devastated Jim discovers his parents  self-deleted
to avoid becoming zombies. They even left a note for him saying “don’t wake up”. As  Jim cries, Selena and Mark tell him he should be grateful his family died peacefully, because they  had to watch their own families become monsters. They spend the night in that house but Jim can’t  sleep and decides to look at old family videos. The light he’s turned on gives his location  away and suddenly two zombies jump through the window to attack him. As Jim struggles to defend  himself, he screams and g
ets the attention of Mark and Selena, who immediately jump to action and  defeat both creatures with brutal yet efficient ferocity. Then Selena makes sure Jim wasn’t bitten  and didn’t get even a drop of blood in his mouth. Unfortunately the injured one is Mark, whose  arm wound is covered with zombie blood. Without hesitation, Selena hacks Mark to death with  her machete before announcing they must leave because more zombies will come. After washing up,  changing clothes, and gathering all the
supplies they can find in the house, Jim and Selena leave  the area, and Selena warns Jim that if someone is infected they must be killed immediately, no  matter if it’s a relative or a friend. Later they see flashing lights coming from an apartment  nearby and go to investigate. The building is in a sorry state and the lobby is full of trolleys, but  the duo just climbs over them to reach the stairs. There are several floors to climb, and when they  stop to take a break, they hear screeching fr
om zombies that have entered the building. They  also jump over the trolleys to take the stairs, so Jim and Selena begin climbing faster as  the zombies come after them. After going up a few floors, they freeze when they find the  way blocked by a man wearing protective gear, who gives them the number and location of his  apartment. The guy stays to fight the zombies, stopping them with a shield while he beats them  up with a bat. The duo makes it to the apartment, but the girl inside doesn’t op
en the door until  the man comes back in one piece. Once everyone is inside, Frank and his daughter Hannah introduce  themselves, giving the duo a warm welcome. This is the apartment with all the lights, and Frank  is glad his signal has finally brought over some company. The next day, Frank shows Jim all the  buckets he has on the roof, explaining that it hasn’t rained in a while. Resources get scarcer  every day and at this rate they won't be able to stay in this apartment for much longer. The
n Frank  shows Jim and Selena a repeating military radio broadcast that claims that soldiers are offering  other survivors protection outside Manchester and even promising "the answer to the infection".  Frank wants to travel there but Selena is skeptical, saying it’s probably a trap or an old  recording that doesn’t hold true anymore. Hannah offers a heartful speech and convinces everyone is  worth the risk. Then the group takes Frank's taxi to travel to Manchester, taking all the supplies  the
y can carry. As they travel through London, they see all the destruction and the bodies on  the streets. When they try to cross a tunnel, the way is blocked by bodies and crashed cars,  but Frank decides to just drive through it and push it away. They actually manage to cross the  mess, however the car suffers a flat tire in the process. When the group comes out to change the  tire, they hear a very weird sound and suddenly see hundreds of rats running toward them, which  makes them realize the
zombies are coming. There’s no time to use extra tools, so the adults lift  the car while Hannah changes the tire. They can see the shadows of the zombies approaching and  soon they’re jumping over the crashed vehicles, but the group finishes changing the tire just in  time and manages to drive away. Afterward they keep driving for a few hours and when they make it  to the countryside, they stop at a burger shack to take gas from an abandoned truck. Curious, Jim  decides to enter the building an
d finds a dead family. Suddenly he’s attacked by a zombie  child, and he has no choice but to kill him to survive. Then they continue to travel through  the countryside, which still looks beautiful. When they stop for dinner, they watch horses run around  without a care for the world. Selena admits that this was better than she expected, and even kisses  Jim on the cheek. That night, the group stays in an old castle in ruins. Hannah and Jim can’t  sleep and wake up Selena to ask how she does it,
so Selena shares her medicine with them. In the  morning, Jim wakes up and discovers he’s alone, so he begins panicking. However Frank wakes him  up, revealing it was just a dream. The next day, the group resumes their journey and can see  Manchester burning in the distance. Eventually they find the blockade from the message, but  while there are military trucks and equipment, it’s all empty. Selena thinks they should leave,  but Frank refuses to admit defeat and continues to search the area. H
e grows so angry that when  he hears a crow nearby, he kicks the wall it’s on to make it go away. The crow had been feeding on  a zombie and when it moves, it causes a drop of blood to drop into Frank’s eye. Knowing what’s  about to happen, he tells Hannah he loves her and asks her to stay away from him. Hannah still  tries to approach him, and as the virus reacts, a furious Frank pushes his daughter away. Then he  moves back as he starts transforming, so Selena tells Jim to kill him while she h
olds Hannah down.  Jim doesn’t want to hurt a friend and freezes, but luckily they’re saved by the sudden arrival  of some soldiers who shoot Frank down in seconds. Afterward the soldiers take Jim, Selena, and  Hannah to a secured mansion in the woods where a few surviving soldiers have set up a new base,  fortifying the place against zombies. The leader Major West welcomes them and offers them food and  a shower. Once they’ve settled down, Hannah is left napping and Selena has a breakdown in fr
ont  of Jim. He tries to comfort her with a kiss and at first Selena kisses back, but when she realizes  what’s happening she leaves the room. Then Jim goes to Major West to ask about the “answer to  the infection” that the radio message mentioned. It turns out they don’t have a cure, West  considers his answer to be all the extra security plans they’ve installed around the house and the  supplies in the kitchen. West also reveals he even has captured a zombie soldier, who is being kept  chained
up in the mansion's courtyard for study. Jim thinks it’s cruel, but West says he wants to  learn what it takes to starve a zombie to death, which may be the real answer they need. In the  evening, Jim’s group has dinner with the soldiers, and they’re a bit creeped out by their harsh  macho behavior. West wears his full uniform and insults the guy who made dinner for making  a mistake, he also assumes Hannah can take over kitchen duties. Suddenly the alarm rings, so all  the soldiers run outside
to defend the mansion from the incoming zombies. The men quickly  get to their assigned positions and open fire, killing dozens of zombies and creating some big  explosions with their weaponry that defeat their enemies in just a few minutes without breaking  a sweat. When the soldiers come back inside, Mitchell tries to take advantage of Selena, so Jim  tries to push him away. Because of his training, Mitchell easily overpowers him, and Sergeant  Farrell has to hit him to make him stop. At that
moment West arrives and tells everyone  to go clean the bodies, then he has a talk with Jim in private. West explains that a few  days ago, he found a soldier called Jones about to self-delete because there was no future. To  bring back hope, West promised his men he would bring them women to repopulate after starving  the zombies to death, that’s why he sent out the radio message. Horrified, Jim rushes to grab  Hannah and Selena and tries to leave with them, but they’re immediately knocked dow
n and captured  by the soldiers. Farrell tries to defend them because he disagrees with West’s plan too, only  to get captured as well. Jim and Farrell are locked up together, and Farrell mentions that  the infection couldn’t have crossed the seas, so most likely the rest of the world is just fine  and they’re only quarantining Britain to keep the infection on the island. Hearing this gives Jim  hope. In the morning, Mitchell and Jones take the prisoners to the forest to be executed next to a  p
ile of bodies. Farrell calls them out for turning on their own sergeant and an argument ensues:  Jones wants to shoot them to make this quick, but Mitchell wants to stab them and enjoy  it. A desperate Jones shoots anyway, killing Farrell but also hurting Mitchell in the  arm. While Mitchell jumps on Jones to yell at him, Jim uses the chance to disappear. As soon as  the soldiers notice they go looking for him, but it turns out Jim has been pretending to be a  body on the pile. Then Jim manages
to escape by jumping over the wall, leaving his shirt behind.  The soldiers see this and decide to leave him be, thinking he can’t survive the zombies that wander  beyond the walls. As Jim escapes into the woods, he suddenly trips and falls, causing him to look  up. To his surprise, he sees a jet flying by, meaning Farrell’s theory that the rest of the  world is fine is correct. In the mansion, the soldiers want to put Selena and Hannah in pretty  dresses to prepare them for a night of breeding.
Selena tries to fight against them to no avail,  so she changes tactics and kisses a soldier, flirting as she asks him to give them some privacy  to change in peace. The soldiers accept and after they leave the room, Selena gives Hannah some  of her medicine to make the experience less traumatic for her. The soldier overhears this and  rushes back inside, but before he can do anything, they hear the alarm going off again. It turns out  Jim is at the blockade and sounding the alarm on purpose. S
oon West and another soldier arrive and  start searching the area, so Jim carefully sneaks around and ambushes the soldier to knock him  down. When West realizes his partner is missing, he looks around and finds him dead in his jeep,  so he opens fire without aim just in case. Then he tries to leave in the jeep but it’s been  disabled, and at that moment a zombie jumps on top of the vehicle. West immediately shoots  him down before coming out of the jeep to also kill all the other incoming zombi
es. Once he’s  done, he runs back to the mansion. Meanwhile Jim also returns to the mansion and with the weapon he  stole from the jeep, he frees the chained zombie, who immediately jumps through the window to attack  the soldiers guarding the girls. While Selena uses the chance to drag Hannah away, the zombie vomits  blood on a soldier and then starts chasing after Jones. The first soldier now becomes a zombie as  well. Selena and Hannah try to leave the house, only to be blocked by Mitchell. S
uddenly  Jones runs by with the zombie behind him, so Mitchell sends a soldier after them while he  takes care of the girls. Jones manages to hide in the kitchen and when the zombie is about to  get him, Mitchell’s friend appears to shoot him, only to be jumped on by the new zombie and get  infected too. Jim happily watches all this through the window, and inside a cupboard, Jones cries  because he can’t help. After the zombies leave, Jones tries running away, however Jim finds him  and kills hi
m on the spot. Then Jim goes inside a secret door to hide from the zombies, who take the  stairs instead. Upstairs, Hannah manages to run away from Mitchell and enters the changing room  to find a picture of her dad among her things. When she hears a zombie coming, she hides behind  a mirror just in time. The zombie gets confused by his own reflection and leaves. Back to Jim,  he runs around the mansion looking for the girls and enters a room where he finds a soldier hiding  because he has no bu
llets. Jim ignores his begging for help and jumps out the window, leaving the  soldier to be eaten by the zombies. By running the roof, Jim sees the room where Mitchell is about  to take advantage of Selena and enters through the window. Mitchell immediately takes Selena hostage,  but Jim still jumps on him and makes him let go of Selena before attacking him quite furiously.  Mitchell doesn’t get to struggle much before Jim smashes his head against the wall and then throws  him on the floor to c
rush his eyes. Horrified by this violence, Selena grabs her machete and  almost kills Jim thinking he’s a zombie too, but her hesitation allows Jim to prove he’s fine  and the two of them kiss. Suddenly Hannah hits Jim with a vase, also thinking he’s infected.  Thankfully Jim is fine and the trio immediately runs out of the building, but when they approach  Frank’s taxi, they find West inside. Saying he wants revenge for his men, West shoots Jim, so  Hannah quickly drives the taxi backward into
the building. The previously chained zombie breaks  the back window and drags West out to get his own revenge, and Hannah immediately takes off picking  up Jim and Selena on her way out while the zombie kills West. The gates that surround the mansion  are locked, but Hannah just drives through them anyway. Jim’s memories of what happens afterward  are blurry, but he remembers Selena giving him CPR in a hospital and begging him to live.  Twenty-eight days later, it’s shown that the trio has been
living in a cottage in the countryside.  Selena has been working hard on sewing lots of fabric and when they hear a plane fly by, the  trio rushes outside with the fabric, revealing she made giant letters that spell “hello”. The  plane sees this and turns around to rescue them.

@azalago

Younger people dont realize that this film single-handedly changed the course of and popularity of zombie films all over the world.

@TheGreatSeraphim

He runs pretty good for someone that was in a coma for over a month.

@badysparta

"HELLO" Pilot just answers "Hi" and flies away. 😅

@Kzallf

1:14 one of the best and most unsettling scenes in any zombie movie ever

@Jiggsdinner

Mark’s story is one of my favourite parts of the movie. Gives a small glimpse of the chaos when the infection broke out. I like it when movies leave some aspects of the plot to our imagination.

@S.wallowdeznuts

This is the only movie that made me want to do cardio everyday.

@jaytothelu

imo this is one of the greatest movies of all time

@JamesBond-hm3bw

Probably the most realistic Zombie movie!

@user-ih6qh5ic3k

The impact that this movie has in pop culture is just massive. Before this, all we got was Night of the Living Dead. This also made Cillian's talent mainstream.

@No_one_asked43

Damn tommy shelby fighting zombies

@DixieRect

Fun fact, this movie had 2 or 3 (can't remember correctly) different endings, the original one where Jim was supposed to die after the gunshot was so poorly received they instead chose to use this one. The 3rd ending never made it past sketches and I believe it was supposed to showcase a potential cure of some sorts. Regardless, it's an instant classic and one of the best movies ever made when it comes to zombies.

@Tony-wu4wk

He finds London in the same condition. No people and full of destruction XD

@t_t6666

Wait... Ain't that Cylian Murphy ??

@Argacyan

There is an alternative unreleased ending for this film where after getting shot at the mansion, Jim is rushed into the hospital by Selina and given CPR in a longer scene, but her first aid fails and Jim bleeds out in the hospital. A devastated Selina walks away returning to a life of bare survival as an urban nomad. The airplane at the end is never seen, leading to the conclusion that nobody comes looking for survivors in Britain.

@tomdyer8518

I can’t believe this dude just starred in Oppenheimer 😅 wild.

@unclelink

Commonality with zombie or any apocalypse movie: survivors are bigger threats. Maybe he was infected but could control it?

@msamuel1964

I saw this at the pictures, when it finished I was scared leave the cinema, half expecting zombies everywhere!! lol Loved it.

@JudgeDrey

Damn it. They are NOT ZOMBIES! This annoys me because this movie, and story is above and beyond any "zombie" movie. They are living people infected with a "RABIES" type called the RAGE virus in the film. This means the infected are not dead, and can starve just feel certain things like uninfected humans. The reason it is so much more than a "zombie movie" is because it brings the story and viewer into the realm of much more plausibility than a typical work of fiction about "undead humans"...etc. Great movie. EDIT: Also, the part in the Church when Jim says "Hello" and a few of the infected stand up in an instant to stare at him IS EPIC! It was one of the creepiest and best jumpscares I've EVER experienced in a movie and kicked off the edge of my seat tension that I felt for the rest of the movie. Fantastic scene and perfectly shot.

@lovelyscorp79

These movie were absolute Gold!

@TheCorpsehatch

I saw this in the theater. Such a refreshing take on the zombie genre.
