In the near future, a top-secret bio-weapon experiment codenamed Project Lazarus goes horribly wrong, unleashing a mutated virus that turns the dead into hyper-evolved zombies—fast, intelligent, and relentlessly savage. As global governments collapse and entire cities fall, humanity is pushed to the brink of extinction.
Dwayne Johnson stars as Commander Cole Mercer, a retired special ops legend pulled back into action after his estranged daughter is trapped in the heart of a quarantine zone. Meanwhile, John Cena plays Sergeant Jack Tanner, a hardened soldier tasked with leading an elite extraction unit deep into the infected city of New Chicago to retrieve the last remaining sample of the virus—and stop it from mutating further.
As Mercer and Tanner’s uneasy alliance unfolds, the team battles through waves of mutated undead, some exhibiting terrifying new traits: climbing walls, mimicking speech, and hunting in organized packs. Along the way, they uncover a horrifying truth: the virus isn’t a random outbreak—it was designed as a bioweapon, and the real enemy may not be the zombies… but those who created them.
Tensions rise when Mercer discovers that his daughter, now infected but immune, may hold the key to a cure. But time is running out. The military plans to carpet-bomb the entire region at dawn. As chaos explodes around them, Mercer and Tanner must make an impossible choice: destroy the virus and the girl who carries it, or risk everything to save her and humanity’s future.
In a brutal, emotional climax, Mercer sacrifices himself to hold off the swarm while Tanner escapes with the girl and the cure. The film ends with the world on edge—one war may be over, but a new one is coming.
“Zombie War” is a high-octane, emotional rollercoaster packed with action, moral dilemmas, and relentless undead horror—a brutal new chapter in the zombie genre.
