After breaking
into a primate research facility, a group of animal rights activists
discover caged chimps chained up before banks of screens displaying
horrifically violent images. Ignoring the warnings of the terrified
researcher who maintains the chimps are 'infected', they begin
to free the animals and are immediately subjected to a bloody
attack from the enraged creatures.
28 days later... Cycle courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakes
from a coma in the deserted intensive care unit of a London hospital.
Mystified, he wanders the wards and corridors in search of others
and eventually heads into the city streets, calling out for help.
As the shadows lengthen Jim seeks shelter in a church only to
find dead bodies piled in heaps on the chapel floor. A sudden
noise alerts him to the presence of a priest but his lightening
speed, blood stained eyes and murderous screams send Jim reeling
into the street. More "infected" are attracted by the
noise and Jim runs in panic and confusion as a growing flock
sprint after him through the dark streets.
A sudden explosion from a makeshift bomb heralds the arrival
of fellow "survivors" Selina (Naomie Harris) and Mark
(Noah Huntley). Following a daring rescue they take Jim to safety
and start to explain to him the nature of the infection, that
it is transmitted in the blood, is overwhelming within seconds,
that Britain has been overrun and that they have no way of knowing
if it has spread worldwide.
