28 Weeks Later

As the Rage virus ravaged its way through the streets of London, a desperate group of survivors - including Don, his wife Alice, and four others - found solace in a secluded cottage on the outskirts of the city. The tranquility was short-lived, as a frantic boy pounded at their door, prompting Don to reluctantly let him in. Little did they know, the boy had unwittingly brought the infected with him, forcing Don to make an impossible decision: abandon his loved ones and escape on a boat, leaving Alice, the boy, and the rest of the survivors to face an uncertain fate.

Twenty-eight weeks later, NATO forces took control of Britain, and American troops arrived under the command of Brigadier General Stone. Among the new settlers were Don's children, Tammy and Andy, who had been out of the country during the outbreak. They were granted entry into District One, a secured zone on the Isle of Dogs, where they were reunited with their father.

That fateful night, Tammy and Andy ventured outside the safe zone, returning to their former home to collect cherished family mementos. It was there that Andy discovered Alice, alive but in a delirious, semi-conscious state. The trio's reunion was short-lived, as they were soon discovered by American soldiers and taken back to District One for isolation. Alice was whisked away to a quarantine room, where she was tested by Scarlet, a United States Army medical officer, and found to be an asymptomatic carrier of the Rage virus.

Don made a clandestine visit to his wife's quarters, begging her forgiveness as he clung to the hope that their love could transcend the horrors surrounding them. Their tearful reunion ultimately sealed their fate, as Don succumbed to the virus's effects and brutally killed Alice. The infected Don then embarked on a rampage, setting off a chain reaction of chaos.

As panic spread, American soldiers struggled to distinguish between panicked survivors and rampaging infected, and were ordered to shoot anyone in sight. Sergeant Doyle, however, refused to comply with this brutal directive, instead choosing to escape with Scarlet, Tammy, and Andy as the U.S. Air Force unleashed a devastating bombardment on District One. Amidst the destruction, Don - now fully transformed into an infected creature - managed to survive and flee into abandoned London, forever lost in his own private hell of rage and despair.

As Doyle's pilot friend Flynn descends upon the chaos-ridden landscape by helicopter, he implores Doyle to abandon the civilians and make haste for Wembley Stadium. However, Doyle refuses to heed this advice, opting instead to safeguard the trio and escort them to the iconic venue. Their journey takes a perilous turn as they seek refuge in an abandoned Volvo V70, attempting to escape the deadly nerve gas dispersed to eradicate the infected. Despite their efforts, the car fails to start, leaving them vulnerable to the approaching American soldiers armed with flamethrowers. In a desperate bid to save his companions, Doyle exits the vehicle to push-start the engine, only to be consumed by flames and succumb to his injuries. Meanwhile, Scarlet and the children flee into the labyrinthine London Underground, but Don's malevolent intentions prove fatal as he claims Scarlet's life and infects Andy with a bite.

As Tammy dispatches Don with a swift bullet, she inadvertently saves Andy from certain doom, though her actions also condemn him to a fate worse than death: carrying the Rage virus without succumbing to its deadly symptoms. Flynn arrives on the scene, whisking away the trio across the English Channel to French soil. Twenty-eight days later, the sound of a French-accented voice requesting aid crackles through the radio in Flynn's abandoned helicopter, serving as a grim reminder that the virus has spread like wildfire across the continent. The infected, now a menacing force, emerge at the Paris Métro Trocadéro station, their gaze fixed upon the Seine and the majestic Eiffel Tower, a haunting testament to the devastating consequences of the Rage virus's unchecked proliferation.
