A quiet morning with his family is the last calm moment Gerry Lane gets before the world falls apart in "World War Z 3D," the 2013 outbreak thriller built for the biggest screen available.
What is World War Z 3D about?
Gerry Lane has left fieldwork behind and is settling into an ordinary life with his wife and daughters when a mysterious infection erupts almost everywhere at once, turning entire crowds into something no longer recognizably human. As cities fall in a matter of hours, the only way to keep his family safe is for Gerry to go back to the work he tried to leave, tracing the outbreak's origin across multiple continents while the window for finding an answer keeps shrinking. Every stop brings a new kind of danger and a new piece of the puzzle, and Gerry has to weigh what he owes the people counting on him against what it will cost to get the truth.
About the cast
Brad Pitt leads the film as Gerry, with Mireille Enos as his wife anchoring the family he is racing to protect, alongside Abigail Hargrove and Sterling Jerins as their daughters. James Badge Dale, Elyes Gabel, David Andrews and Daniella Kertesz round out the people Gerry crosses paths with as the search for answers moves from one continent to the next.
Context & significance
Director Marc Forster builds the outbreak on a global scale, staging large-scale chaos across several countries rather than confining the story to a single city, and the 3D presentation was designed specifically to make that scale land harder on a big screen. At 116 minutes, the film keeps a brisk pace, moving Gerry from one location to the next before the tension has a chance to settle. Produced across the United States and Malta, it stands as one of the bigger-budget entries in the outbreak-thriller genre, trading gore for tension and momentum.
