MY TITLE
WORLD WAR Z
.EXPOSITON
->A zombie pandemic erupts in major cities around the world;
those bitten by the creatures become zombies themselves
within 12 seconds. Retired UN investigator Gerry Lane, his wife
Karin, and their two daughters escape the outbreak in
Philadelphia and travel to Newark, where they take shelter with
another family. Gerry's friend, UN Deputy Secretary-General
Umuntoni, arranges their rescue. When their U.S. Air Force
helicopter arrives, zombies invade the house and their hosts
are bitten, with only their son managing to escape with the
Lanes. They are flown to a Navy carrier group offshore New York
City.

. RISING ACTION
->The onboard scientists, needing to find patient zero, focus on
Camp Humphreys in South Korea thought to be the source of
their first known mention of "zombie". A team of Navy SEALs is
dispatched with Dr. Fassbach, a virologist. Gerry is coerced into
going with them, or risk having his family sent to a potentially
unsafe refugee camp. When the team's plane lands at Camp
Humphreys, they are ambushed by zombies and Fassbach
accidentally shoots himself dead. Inside the compound, Gerry
learns that a South Korean doctor was the first to come down
with the zombie infection, turning about 10 minutes after being
bitten by a soldier who had been somewhat deranged for days.
.CLIMAX
->Warmbrunn reveals they had intercepted a message that the
Indian Army was fighting the rakshasa ("demon"). As Gerry is
escorted back to his plane by the IDF, zombies are drawn by
loud music and singing in the city and they pile up against the
wall and are able to enter the city. Gerry and his IDF escorts
battle their way to the airport. During the way, Gerry notices an
old man and a young feeble boy are ignored by the zombies.
On the plane, Gerry contacts Umuntoni, who directs the pilots
to a WHO facility in Cardiff. As the plane nears Cardiff, a zombie
is discovered on the plane, and most of the passengers are
quickly bitten and infected. Having no other choice, Gerry
throws a grenade to rupture the cabin and eject the zombies,
but it also causes the plane to crash land.

.FALLING ACTION
-> As they reach the WHO facility, Gerry passes out and falls in
a coma. Gerry wakes up three days later. He is unable to
convince the scientists of his identity, so he contacts Umuntoni.
Umuntoni convinces the scientists.Gerry explains his theory
that the zombies need a healthy host to carry the infection.
Gerry suggests injecting himself with a deadly, but curable
disease that acts as a camouflage and makes him appear
invisible from the zombies.

.RESOLUTION
-> Gerry injects himself and proves his hypothesis is correct
when the zombie ignores him. Gerry, carrying the pathogens,
safely bypasses other zombies.Later, Gerry and Segen are
taken to a Nova Scotia refugee camp where Gerry is reunited
with his family. Gerry explains there is a vaccine that is a
hybridized mix of meningitis, smallpox and H1N1 that
camouflages humans from zombies and allows them to safely
travel through zombie hordes and mount attacks against them.
The zombies are in an area and stand dormant when no un-
vaccinated humans or loud noises are present. Gerry states
that the war against the zombies is just beginning. Mexico City
is devastated by the zombies.
