Maverick filmmaker
Robert Rodriguez details the violent struggle between a ravenous army of zombie-like humanoids who have taken control of the planet and the remaining survivors who refuse to go down without a fight. A dangerous government experiment has unleashed an abominable contamination that turns normal people into murderous mutants. Now, as an infinitely multiplying horde of frenzied psychotics flood the Texas plains, a dangerous outlaw named Wray (
Freddy Rodriguez), a sexy stripper named Cherry (
Rose McGowan), an unscrupulous smuggler named Abby (
Naveen Andrews), and the curiously incapacitated Dr. Dakota Block (
Marley Shelton) must try and make their way to the helicopter that could provide their only means of escaping to a place untouched by this nightmarish scourge that threatens to wipe out all of humankind. This nonstop action-horror hybrid originally was released as part of Rodriguez and
Quentin Tarantino's ambitious
Grindhouse double bill. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
