Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland reunite, 23 years later, for this third film in the apocalyptic infection series following the events of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Stars Ralph Fiennes, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell and Jodie Comer. This is the first part of a planned trilogy.
It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.
