"World War Z" is a 2013 apocalyptic survival horror incredibly loosely based on the novel of the same name by Max Brooks. Protagonist Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is a retired UN investigator recalled by his handler when the world starts succumbing to a plague of zombies. The opening credit scenes of the movie are a foreshadowing montage of flocks of birds, ant armies and fish formations interspaced with typical daytime television trash and news reports flicking between small mentions of rabies outbreaks and banally normal news fare. Gerry Lane is shown briefly to be a loving and loved father and husband before the localized part of the zombie apocalypse begins in downtown Philadelphia with Lane and family stuck in the middle. The zombie infestation is very rapid; from being bitten and infected there are around twelve seconds before conversion to zombification. In a little over a week most of America and the rest of the world are largely destroyed and depopulated. Lane and family are rescued by the US military and Lane is summarily dispatched to investigate the cause and origin of the viral outbreak in order to find a cure or vaccine. The only cure given for zombification, "World War Z" is a penetrating strike to the head, whether by bullet or blunt instrument. Once bitten and transformed the human is dead, and only the zombie virus continues to animate the corpse. Lane eventually figures out that zombies only want healthy hosts and are able to instantly sense when a human is sick or dying and therefore of no use in the ranks of the undead. The sick, injured, and terminal people are essentially invisible to the zombies. A vaccine of sorts is developed, a non-lethal strain of a disease which is recognizable to the zombies but not deadly to humans and the movie ends with another montage with Lane narrating detailing the war to reclaim America and the rest of the world from the zombies.
