Picking up where NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD left off, and still offering no explanation
of why the dead are walking the earth, DAWN OF THE DEAD plunges headlong into
one of the most violent and original horror films ever made. After securing an apartment
building overcome with flesh-eating zombies, two Philadelphia area SWAT team
members, Peter (Ken Foree) and Roger (Scott Reiniger), flee to a television station,
where they escape in the station's helicopter with Francine (Gaylen Ross) and Stephen
(David Emge), two station employees. Seeking refuge from the zombies and the
ensuing hysteria, they land on top of a Pittsburgh area shopping mall, despite the fact
that the undead seem to be flocking there. What begins as a stop for supplies becomes
a longer stay as the four become embroiled in a futile war within the mall to keep their
flesh to themselves and remain alive.
