Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the film restores its initial cast, consisting of Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin. The film picks up ten years after the first one.

Plot SummaryThe movie opens with the 4 apocalypse survivors: Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Wichita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) now residing in the deserted White House. Columbus proposes to Wichita with the Hope Diamond, triggering her to get cold feet and triggering her and Little Rock to leave.
Feeling alone and deserted, Columbus discovers a distraction in Madison, a bubbly, if slightly dim-witted, character who's been living alone in a shopping mall. Their love is immediately made complex when Wichita returns, informing them that Little Rock has actually run off with Berkeley, a pacifist artist.
Problems and AdventureThe group, consisting of a hesitant Madison, triggers to rescue Little Rock. Along the way, they encounter developed zombies, dubbed T-800s, who are more difficult to eliminate. Simultaneously, they also fulfill Nevada, a tough-as-nails hotel owner, and Albuquerque and Flagstaff, a duo unnervingly comparable to Tallahassee and Columbus.
The group splits, with Wichita, Columbus, and Madison hunting Berkeley and Little Rock while Tallahassee and Nevada deal with the approaching horde of T-800s. Throughout their journey, Madison starts showing signs of zombification and is left behind in the woods. The trio eventually finds Berkeley and Little Rock at Babylon, a pacifist commune where weapons are melted down for peace.
Climax and ConclusionRegardless of finding Little Rock secure, the group is met an impending attack from zombies brought in by the commune's routine fireworks. Equipped with makeshift weapons, they get ready for fight. They are all of a sudden signed up with by Madison, who had actually just struggled with a nut allergy and is not a zombie, and the combined efforts ultimately lead to their victory versus the zombies.
Although Wichita accepts Columbus's proposition, and Little Rock breaks up with Berkeley, deciding they're better off as a group than apart. Simply as things get back to rather normal, they face a drooling, grumbling T-800, teasing another possible sequel and leaving the audience eagerly waiting for more of this enjoyable zombie land story.
