Dawn of the Dead
An unexplained plague has decimated the world's population
and yet...the dead aren't dying. They've become zombies, stalking
endlessly in a constant quest to feed on the flesh and blood
of the few remaining living.
A ragtag group of desperate survivors
in a Wisconsin town seek refuge in a large indoor mall, where
they must learn not only to protect themselves from the ever-increasing
zombie horde, but also to co-exist with each other as a last
bastion of humanity. Sealed off from the rest of what used
to be the world, the group uses every available resource (both
within and without) in their against-all-odds fight to remain
alive and human.
Summary
As the United States is turned
upside-down by a strange plague-like event in which millions
of corpses walk the earth as blood-thirsty zombies (with the
recently-deceased that the zombies kill usually returning
as zombies themselves, multiplying their number), a small
group of survivors of the onslaught, which include a nurse
(Polley) and a police officer (Rhames), try to find shelter
and protection within a massive shopping mall in the mid-sized
city of Everett, WA.

What they don't reckon on is that the
zombies still have some sort of residual memory, and *everyone*
loves going to the mall, right? Realizing that their time
is running out, they decide to make another attempt at flight,
to a presumably un-zombie-infested island, but to do so, they'll
have to get past thousands of zombies in-between
