Summary:

In a hospital bed on a deserted ward, Jim sleeps. Outside, the world is changing. In a landscape of diseased violence, masked figures make Molotov cocktails, a father and daughter pray for rain, and an army major tries to keep his men from suicide. As Jim wakes from one dream world into another, staying alive is as good as it gets. In his first screenplay, Alex Garland plays fast and loose with genre with great intelligence and style. More importantly, 28 Days Later displays the same imaginative sympathy for characters confronted by the lottery of survival that infuses Alex Garland's other fictional works, The Beach and The Tesseract, and has made them so distinctive.
