Danny Boyle has united the astonishing cast which includes Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, Jack O'Connell and Aaron Taylor-Johnson for this much anticipated and long-awaited post-apocalyptic horror film.
It has 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 with their son, on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders and the horrifying truths about the virus and its impact on both the infected and the survivors. Written by Boyle and Alex Garland ('Civil War', 'Warfare', 'Ex-Machina', 'Never Let Me Go').
