Director Danny Boyle serves up a frightening post-apocalyptic vision of London in this 2002 survival tale. Cillian Murphy plays Jim, a bike courier who awakes in a hospital from a coma four weeks after a highly contagious virus is unleashed upon the city. Discovering London completely deserted, he ultimately finds other survivors, and with them, he strategizes to find sanctuary from the contagion.
Part allegory about the human condition, part zombie story, and part political commentary, the movie was a box-office hit in the U.S. despite a limited release. Boyle served as executive producer for a sequel, 28 Weeks Later, which hit theaters in 2007. Word is that the director is interested in bringing another sequel, 28 Months Later to the big screen.
