Alex Garland's first screenplay is a terrifying page-turner brought vividly to the screen by director Danny Boyle. A virus that locks those infected into a permanent state of killing rage is accidentally released from a British research facility. 28 days later, a motorcycle messenger awakes from a coma and finds himself among a small group of survivors in London, trapped in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. As they attempt to salvage a future from the apocalypse, they find that their most deadly enemy may not be the virus, but other survivors.
