Creating an Army of the Dead

A U.S. military convoy transporting confidential cargo from Area 51 collides with a car on the highway, releasing a genetically-engineered zombie. It kills all the soldiers while infecting two others. The zombies travel to nearby Las Vegas, infecting most of the city’s population. After a failed military intervention, the government quarantines the city.Casino owner Bly Tanaka and his head of security, Martin, approach ex-mercenary Scott Ward, who took part in the failed intervention but now works as a fry cook, about a job to recover $200 million from his casino vault before the military destroys the city with a tactical nuclear strike.Creating an Army of the Dead 2021

Ward agrees and recruits his old colleagues: Maria Cruz, Vanderohe, and pilot Marianne Peters, as well as German safecracker Ludwig Dieter, Chicano sharpshooter and social media influencer Mikey Guzman, and Guzman’s female partner, Chambers. Martin joins the team to give them access to the casino. Ward’s estranged daughter Kate, who works at a quarantine camp, directs them to Lily, a French smuggler familiar with the city; she joins the team along with Burt Cummings, an abusive camp security officer. When Kate learns Lily previously escorted her friend Geeta into Vegas, Kate insists on joining the team over her father’s objections.After an encounter with Valentine, a zombified tiger, Lily wounds Cummings, and explains that a more intelligent group of zombies known as “Alphas” will allow safe passage in exchange for a sacrifice. An Alpha female known as the Queen takes Cummings to the Olympus casino, where the Alpha leader Zeus infects him. Lily leads the team to a building full of hibernating zombies. After Chambers accuses Martin of having ulterior motives, he sends her in the wrong direction and she wakes the zombies. After she is surrounded and bitten, Chambers is shot by Guzman.
