action
A top secret government project is experimenting with unknown viruses from an extraterrestrial power and is making first progress in the area of " genetic mutation ". As part of a series of tests, the unsuspecting residents of the small Argentine town of Lake City are then contaminated . The field test with the alien pathogen quickly gets out of control, the virus develops an uncontrollable life of its own and affects large sections of the population within a very short time. The infected turn into bloodthirsty undead - with devastating consequences. The area is then sealed off from the outside world.
Only four men survived the terrible events. They are rescued by agents of the FBI , examined and a little later forced by the government to return to their hermetically sealed town. With this unpopular measure, the state authorities want to prevent the possible spread of the epidemic, contain the virus and, in an emergency, wipe out the entire region through the use of warfare agents.
The three befriended men, the student Bill, ex-wrestler John and computer expert Max are abandoned with a fourth stranger in a black sack in their ancestral neighborhood populated by the living dead. The trio must soon prove themselves against multitudes of extremely agile and sometimes intelligent monsters, which they initially succeed in despite the numerical superiority of the attackers. They flee from carnage to carnage. Long-haired Bill accidentally appropriates an encrypted data carrier from an FBI agent who is presumed missing, which contains records of the complete destruction of Lake City. With this disk , the reckless men start a countdown for the bombing of their residential area, but this has no consequences after the set time has elapsed.
Meanwhile, the trio manages to open the black bag, a young man named Max, a big fan of ex-wrestler John, appears. His presence triggers jealousy among the computer experts of the same name. In a short-circuit act, he tears up his rival, only to be killed a little later by the rushing undead. From the former four survivors, only two remain, but they continue their extremely brutal fight. At the end of the film there is opaque fighting between a horde of undead rockers, who armed themselves with bread and kitchen knives, and those zombie-like creatures. The encounter ends in a massacre while the two survivors, Bill and John, meet Max, who has mutated into zombie . The three friends finally examine the battlefield as movement gradually comes into the motionless undead. From the bodies of those monsters, which serve as a kind of cocoon , clusters of aliens are shedding their skin. The two living and zombie Max decides to continue their fight.
