Description of this Zombie Movie Poster
Land of the Dead is a 2005 post-apocalyptic horror film written and directed by George A. Romero; the fourth of Romero’s six films about the undead, it is preceded by Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead, and followed by Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead. It was released in 2005, with a budget of $15–19 million, the highest in Romero’s Dead series, and grossed $46 million.
The story of The Land of the Dead deals with a zombie assault on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where a feudal-style government exists. The survivors in the film have taken refuge in the Golden Triangle district of downtown Pittsburgh. The area is protected on two sides by rivers and on the third by an electric barricade that the survivors call “the Gorge.” Released in North America on June 24, 2005, The Land of the Dead received mostly positive reviews from film critics.
A few years after the zombie apocalypse, the scattered remnants of human civilization have reorganized enough to establish a chain of protected city-states across America. One such sanctuary is concentrated in the triangular peninsula of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which houses a feudal-style government. Bordered on two sides by rivers and barricaded on the third by an electrified fence guarded by a militia, the city has become a haven in which its citizens live in relative safety. Outside the city’s barriers lies a no-man’s-land of barren countryside and decaying suburban towns, long since deserted by living humans but overrun by legions of the dead. The rich and powerful live in a luxury tower block called Fiddler’s Green, while the rest of the population subsists in squalor. All forms of commerce within this protected area are controlled by Paul Kaufman, the city’s ruthless plutocratic ruler. He sponsored Dead Reckoning, an armored personnel carrier capable of moving easily through zombie-infested areas.
Riley Denbo is the designer and commander of Dead Reckoning. Unlike Kaufman, Riley is respected for his work protecting citizens, as well as providing food and medical supplies that citizens can no longer obtain on their own. Through Dead Reckoning, Riley and his team venture into zombie-infested areas to retrieve necessary supplies. They also collect luxury items such as designer clothing and premium brands of alcohol, as these items serve as a powerful means of bartering within Kaufman’s oppressive oligarchic regime. During one mission, they notice that many zombies exhibit intelligent behavior. This is particularly evident in one of them, “Big Daddy,” a former gas station attendant. During the mission, rookie Mike is bitten by a zombie and commits suicide before transforming.
After the mission, Riley retires from command of Dead Reckoning. Tired of a difficult life in a post-apocalyptic city, he plans to leave the urban sanctuary for the road to Canada once his car repairs are complete. Back in town, he visits Chihuahua’s bar. There, he witnesses a prostitute named Slack being forced into a cage with zombies to entertain the customers. Riley and Charlie rescue Slack; Charlie kills Chihuahua in the ensuing chaos. Riley, Charlie, and Slack are arrested. Slack reveals that Kaufman ordered his execution for helping a resistance leader named Mulligan foment a rebellion among the poor.
Meanwhile, Cholo DeMora, Dead Reckoning’s second-in-command, is denied an apartment in Fiddler’s Green despite his dirty work for Kaufman by eliminating his political enemies. In retaliation, Cholo takes control of Dead Reckoning and threatens to destroy Fiddler’s Green with it if Kaufman doesn’t meet his $5 million ransom demand. Kaufman approaches Riley and tasks him, Charlie, and Slack with retrieving Dead Reckoning. They are overseen by Manolete, Motown, and Pillsbury.
On the way, Manolete is bitten and then killed by Slack. After catching up with Dead Reckoning, Riley approaches the vehicle alone. Charlie, Slack, and Pillsbury follow after subduing Motown and leaving her behind. Realizing that Riley is working for Kaufman, Cholo holds Riley and Charlie at gunpoint. As he prepares to fire Dead Reckoning’s missiles at Fiddler’s Green, Riley uses a small device and disables Dead Reckoning’s weapons systems; he then destroys the device. Motown, who has regained consciousness, opens fire and nearly kills Riley and Cholo (who is maimed by one of the shots). She is bitten by a zombie and killed by Slack. Riley convinces Cholo to allow her to escape the North and join him, but Cholo decides to return to Fiddler’s Green to deal with Kaufman; his partner Foxy accompanies him. Along the way, Cholo is bitten by a zombie and leaves to kill Kaufman himself as a zombie. Riley regains control of Dead Reckoning and returns to Fiddler’s Green.
Elsewhere, Big Daddy (who has gathered a large group of zombies) learns that they can walk safely underwater and leads the zombies across the river to the human city, where they breach the perimeter fence. Due to years of neglect by the wealthy regarding combat training, the border guards are quickly overwhelmed. With zombies invading the once-secure areas of the city, the electrified fences that kept them out have become a wall that traps the humans inside. Seeing the city overrun, Kaufman flees with his money and encounters a Cholo zombie in a parking lot. As the two fight, Big Daddy kills them both with an exploding propane tank.
Riley’s group arrives at the city and comes across a raised drawbridge. Riley sets out to bring down the bridge, but a small group of zombies begins attacking Dead Reckoning. Riley and the others manage to get rid of the zombies and avoid them. After crossing the bridge, they watch helplessly as the zombies devour people and mercy-kill them with missiles. It is then revealed that most of the poor people were led to safety by Mulligan, thus surviving the assault. Riley and Mulligan say their goodbyes as they part ways with their groups. As they watch Big Daddy and the zombies leave the city, sparing the surviving humans, Riley decides to leave them alone as well, claiming that they are simply looking for somewhere to go. While lighting the rest of the fireworks (which had been used to distract the zombies, but are now useless), Riley’s group leaves for Canada on Dead Reckoning.
