Breck Eisner's remake of the George A. Romero classic (the legendary horror director's personal favourite) finds the Iowan town of Odgen Marsh under siege from its denizens after its water supply is contaminated with a deadly toxin. As the townspeople murder, pillage and generally run amok, it's up to a small band of uncontaminated folk (led by the sheriff - played by Timothy Olyphant) to fight for survival.
