Description of this Zombie Cinema Poster
The Land of the Dead is a 2005 post-apocalyptic horror film written and directed by George A. Romero; the fourth of Romero's six undead films, it was 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 of Romero's Dead series, and grossed $46 million.
The story of Land of the Dead deals with a zombie assault on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where a feudal-style government exists. The survivors of the film took refuge in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of downtown Pittsburgh. The region is protected on two sides by rivers and on the third by an electric barricade that survivors call "the Gorge". Released in North America on June 24, 2005, Land of the Living 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 of these sanctuaries is concentrated in the triangular peninsula of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is home to 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 walls lies a no-man's land of barren countryside and dilapidated suburban towns, long deserted by living humans but overrun by the 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 areas overrun by zombies to scavenge needed supplies. They also collect luxury items such as designer clothing and premium alcohol brands, as these items provide a powerful means of barter within Kaufman's oppressive oligarchic regime. During a mission, they notice that many zombies behave intelligently. This is particularly visible in one of them, "Big Daddy", formerly an employee of a gas station. 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 the repairs to his car are completed. Back in town, he goes to Chihuahua's bar. There he sees a prostitute named Slack forced into a cage with zombies to entertain customers. Riley and Charlie save 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 the dirty favors he did for Kaufman by eliminating his political enemies. In retaliation, Cholo takes control of Dead Reckoning and threatens to destroy Fiddler's Green with him if Kaufman does not meet his $5 million ransom demand. Kaufman approaches Riley and tasks him, Charlie and Slack with retrieving Dead Reckoning. They are supervised by Manolete, Motown and Pillsbury.
Along 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 him after mastering Motown and leaving it 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 weapon systems; he then destroys the device. Motown, who has regained consciousness, opens fire and nearly kills Riley and Cholo (who is mutilated by one of the shots). She is bitten by a zombie and killed by Slack. Riley convinces Cholo to allow him to escape the North and join him, but the latter 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 goes 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 town where they breach the fence of 'pregnant. Due to years of neglect of combat training by the rich, the border guards are quickly becoming overwhelmed. With zombies invading once secure areas of the city, the electrified fences that kept them out have become a wall that traps humans inside. Seeing the city invaded, Kaufman flees with his money and encounters a zombie Cholo in a parking lot. As the two fight, Big Daddy kills them both with an exploding propane tank.
Riley's group arrives at the town and comes across a raised drawbridge. Riley leaves to bring down the bridge, but a small group of zombies begin attacking Dead Reckoning. Riley and the others manage to get rid of the zombies and avoid them. After crossing the bridge, they helplessly watch as zombies devour people and mercifully 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 goodbye as they part ways with their groups. As they see Big Daddy and the zombies leave town, sparing the surviving humans, Riley decides to leave them alone as well, claiming that they are just looking for somewhere to go, too. 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.
