Waking up in a deserted London hospital, Cillian Murphy discovers that the capital has become a ghost town

Waking up in a deserted London hospital, Cillian Murphy discovers that the capital has become a ghost town.

He wanders around aimlessly, unsure of what disaster has occurred until he’s chased by a group of madmen. Rescued by Naomie Harris, Murphy discover the truth - that a deadly virus called Rage has infected most of the population, turning them into zombie-like killers.

So the pair team up and begin the search for a safe haven - and maybe some answers too.

Director Danny Boyle's chilling classic builds up a great sense of menace and keeps you gripped for its entire running time. The scenes set in the desolate, deserted big city are wonderfully eerie and things go completely off the handle once army officer Christopher Eccleston appears on the scene.
