Synopsis: A husband and wife in a small Midwestern town find
themselves battling for survival as their friends and family
descend into madness in The Crazies.
A mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone exposed
to it into mindless killers and the authorities leave the
uninfected to their certain doom in this terrifying reinvention
of the George Romero horror classic. Directed by Breck Eisner
(Sahara), The Crazies is written by Ray Wright (Pulse, Case
39) and Scott Kosar (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre).
The American Dream goes horribly wrong when the residents
of this picture-perfect town begin to succumb to an uncontrollable
urge for violence and the horrific bloodshed escalates into
anarchy. In an attempt to contain the epidemic, the military
uses deadly force to close off access into or out of town,
abandoning the few healthy citizens to the growing mayhem
as depraved killers lurk in the shadows.
Sheriff David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant); his pregnant wife,
Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant
at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutton’s
deputy and right-hand man, find themselves trapped in a once
idyllic town they can no longer recognize. Unable to trust
former neighbors and friends, deserted by the authorities
and terrified of contracting the illness themselves, they
are forced to band together in a nightmarish struggle for
survival.
