Storyline

Searching for family. In the early twenty-first century, zombies have taken over America. A shy and inexperienced college student in Texas has survived by following his 30 rules: such as "look in the back seat," "double-tap," "avoid public restrooms." He decides to travel to Ohio to see if his parents are alive. He gets a ride with a boisterous zombie-hating good-old boy headed for Florida, and soon they confront a young woman whose sister has been bitten by a zombie and wants to be put out of her misery. The sisters were headed to an LA amusement park they've heard is zombie free. Can the kid from Ohio get to his family? And what about rule thirty one? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Trivia

The biggest opening weekend of any film in Woody Harrelson's career; $24.7 million. Harrelson's previous best weekend debut was Indecent Proposal, with $18.3 million. The record was beaten a month and a half later by 2012's $65.2 million opening. This record was then defeated by _The Hunger Games (2012)_ with an opening of $152.5 the first weekend. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Tallahasee and Columbus are in the supermarket, Tallahasee kills a zombie with a banjo. In the next shot of him he is holding what appears to be a metal pipe and the banjo has gone. However, the "metal pipe" is an aluminum baseball bat. Tallahassee is seen with the bat prior to playing the banjo. After killing the first zombie with the banjo, he switches to the bat. Then switches to the pruning sheers before killing the third zombie. It's clear that he uses each weapon only once, then changes each time. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Columbus: Oh, America. I wish I could tell you that this was still America, but I've come to realize that you can't have a country without people. And there are no people here. No, my friends. This is now the United States of Zombieland.
