Synopsis of 28 Years Later
28 Years Later revisits the chilling world first introduced in 28 Days Later, transporting viewers nearly three decades beyond the initial outbreak of the Rage virus. The film explores a world where the virus has not only shaped the environment but also the generations that grew up in its aftermath.
The story centers on Ava, a young survivor born long after the fall of civilization. Raised in a remote, heavily guarded community, she knows little of the world before the infection but senses the fragile peace holding her world together is beginning to crack. When signs of a new strain of the Rage virus surface, Ava embarks on a perilous mission to uncover the truth, accompanied by a small group of fellow survivors.
Their journey takes them across a decaying landscape filled with danger—rogue human factions, ruins of failed quarantines, and terrifying new forms of the infected. As the group ventures deeper into infected zones, they uncover a government secret that suggests the virus may never have truly gone dormant—and that humanity’s survival could once again be at risk.
28 Years Later is a gripping continuation of the franchise, blending intense survival horror with emotional depth. It explores themes of generational trauma, hope amid ruin, and the enduring question of whether the world can ever be rebuilt—or if it’s doomed to repeat its darkest history.
