Zack Snyder made his directorial debut with his remake of Dawn of the Dead. He’s returning to the zombie apocalypse with Army of the Dead. The opening kicks off convoy of army trucks that crash into a car. Their special cargo is tipped over and unleashes a zombie onto the roads of Las Vegas. Cut to the zombie apocalypse and the city is walled off trapping the zombies in the Las Vegas strip. The government is set to drop a nuclear bomb on the city, but before that happens a rogue team of fighters head back onto the strip. Dave Bautista, from the Guardian of the Galaxy movies, leads the group as Scott Ward. He’s hired for a $50 million job from the owner of the casino to head back into the vault grab the remaining $200 million cash and escape via a helicopter on the roof. His team has a set time frame to pull off the heist and must fend off a hoard of zombies on their way in. It’s in theaters May 14 and will be streaming on Netflix May 21
