    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Brad Pitt said of his involvement in the film, "This whole thing started because I just wanted to do a film that my boys could see before they turned 18 - one that they would like, anyways. And they love a zombie."
    • Goofs
      They use Iridium satellite phones indoors (inside the aircraft carrier, inside the airplane) which is not possible - they need a clear view of the sky.
    • Quotes
      • Jurgen Warmbrunn: Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.
    • Crazy credits
      The ending Paramount logo is shown in the same dark blueish color from the opening logos.
    • Alternate versions
      An unrated cut released on home video adds almost seven minutes of additional action and some alternate/re-edited shots.
