In “28 Years Later,” the rage virus that decimated Britain has spread globally, evolving into something even more terrifying. The world governments failed to contain it, leading to widespread chaos. Now, nearly three decades after the initial outbreak, survivors are scattered across ruined cities and wastelands.
Cillian Murphy returns as Jim, one of the few survivors from the original outbreak. After years of isolation, Jim has found some semblance of peace in a remote countryside, believing the virus has finally burned itself out. But when a group of survivors led by Ryan (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) arrives at his doorstep, Jim realizes the nightmare is far from over. Ryan’s group is on the run from a new strain of the virus — one that doesn’t just cause rage but enhances the infected’s strength and intelligence, making them more dangerous than ever before.
Ryan reveals that a military faction in France was experimenting on the virus in an attempt to weaponize it. However, the experiments went wrong, creating a mutated version that could spread even faster. The survivors must now cross into France to find the rogue military base and destroy the virus before it reaches mainland Europe.
The journey is brutal. Along the way, Jim faces haunting memories from the past, including the loss of his friends and the guilt of surviving while others died. As the group nears their destination, they realize that some among them may be infected — but showing no symptoms yet. In a tense finale, Jim must make a devastating choice: sacrifice the few for the chance to save humanity or watch the world fall to a nightmare far worse than he ever imagined.
