Description: In the 2021 film *Army of the Dead*, a U.S. military convoy transporting classified cargo from Area 51 crashes into a car on the highway, unleashing a genetically-engineered zombie. The outbreak kills the soldiers and infects two others, spreading rapidly to Las Vegas, where it infects most of the population. After a failed military operation, the government quarantines the city.
Casino owner Bly Tanaka and his security chief, Martin, approach Scott Ward, a former mercenary who participated in the failed mission but now works as a fry cook. They offer him a job to recover $200 million from Tanaka’s casino vault before the military destroys the city with a tactical nuclear strike. Ward accepts and assembles a team of skilled individuals, including his old allies Maria Cruz, Vanderohe, and pilot Marianne Peters, as well as German safecracker Ludwig Dieter, sharpshooter Mikey Guzman, and his partner, Chambers. Martin joins the team to provide access to the casino.
Ward’s estranged daughter, Kate, who works at a quarantine camp, directs the team to Lily, a smuggler familiar with the city. Lily joins the group along with Burt Cummings, a brutal security officer. Kate insists on joining the mission after learning that Lily previously helped her friend Geeta enter Vegas. During their journey, they encounter a zombified tiger named Valentine. Lily injures Cummings and reveals that a group of intelligent zombies, called “Alphas,” will allow safe passage in exchange for a sacrifice. An Alpha female, known as the Queen, takes Cummings to the Olympus casino, where the Alpha leader Zeus infects him.
Lily leads the team to a building containing hibernating zombies. When Chambers accuses Martin of having hidden motives, he misdirects her, causing her to awaken the zombies. Surrounded and bitten, Chambers is ultimately shot by Guzman.
