The 2003 film, directed by Danny Boyle, won 7 of 21 nominated awards. It begins with animal activists releasing chimpanzees from cages who were being experimented on with a virus that causes rage. 28 days later, Jim, the protagonist in the script, wakes up in an abandoned hospital and beings looking for anyone left in London. After finding a church, Jim runs into two people, Selena and Mark, who bring him up to date about what is going on. This is when we find out that the disease locks its victims into permanate, murderous rage. The infected seek out the uninfected to kill and destroy them. Within 28 days, there are only a handful of survivors, who then try to salvage a future of mankind.
This is a film about survival and heroics. There is also an underlying message of society's savage nature.
