World War Z is a 2013 apocalyptic action horror film directed by Marc Forster and starring Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane, a former United Nations investigator who is forced back into action to help stop a global zombie pandemic that threatens to wipe out humanity.
The film is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Max Brooks, which is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has turned most of the Earth's population into zombies. In the film, the virus is transmitted through bites from infected humans, and spreads rapidly across the globe.
Gerry Lane is recruited by the UN to help investigate the origins of the virus and find a cure before it's too late. Along the way, he encounters various survivors and experts in different parts of the world, from South Korea to Israel.
The film features intense action sequences, including a thrilling zombie attack on a crowded airplane and a massive zombie swarm in Jerusalem. The visual effects are impressive, particularly in the large-scale zombie attacks.
Despite being a zombie movie, World War Z also explores themes of family, sacrifice, and the importance of science and cooperation in the face of a global crisis. Overall, it's a suspenseful and thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.
