28 Years Later(2025)

28 years after the initial outbreak of the Rage Virus in the UK, a small community of survivors has taken refuge in Lindisfarne. Young Spike (Alfie Williams) joins his father Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) on a hunting ritual to go after the Infected. A few Infected have become stronger, smarter, and more brutal, now referred to as “Alphas”. After Spike and Jamie return home after outrunning an Alpha, Spike is disillusioned with his father after seeing him engage in an affair.

Spike takes his ailing mother Isla (Jodie Comer) away from the community to a nearby location on the mainland to find Dr. Ian Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), a mysterious man feared by the other survivors. Spike and Isla meet Erik, a NATO soldier whose unit was decimated by an Alpha, and he saves the two from a pack of Infected. They encounter a pregnant Infected woman who gives birth an an uninfected child. Erik kills the mother and nearly kills the newborn until an Alpha called Samson rips Erik’s head off. Samson is tranquilized by Dr. Kelson, who named the creature and has found a way to keep him sedated. Kelson brings Spike and Isla to his “Bone Temple” where he has constructed a shrine to the deceased. Kelson examines Isla and finds that she has terminal cancer. Isla accepts her fate and stays with Spike in her final moments before letting Kelson mercy kill her. He gives Spike her skull so that he can place it at the top of Kelson’s skull tower.

Spike brings the baby, whom he has named Isla, back to Lindisfarne but continues to travel on his own. He is found by a cult leader named Jimmy, who survived the initial outbreak and has formed a legion of followers. After they save Spike from incoming Infected, Jimmy invites Spike to join him.
