Patient Zero
Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky
Produced by Vincent Newman Entertainment, Screen Gems
A high-stakes post-apocalyptic thriller about humanity's last stand against a pandemic-driven zombie plague, driven by action and survival desperation rather than intimate character work.
After an unprecedented global pandemic has turned the majority of humankind into violent infected beings, Morgan, a man gifted with the ability to speak the infected's new language, leads the last survivors on a hunt for patient zero and a cure.
