Plot – Zombies have invaded the United States and terror is spreading. Four fearless people - two soldiers, one white and one black, and two television network employees, a man and a woman - try to escape by helicopter. However, a fuel shortage forces them to land on the roof of a huge supermarket, which is already occupied by the zombies. While the living dead try to overpower them, the four - after having erected a safe barrier between themselves and their attackers - manage to build a refuge in the supermarket, where they lay low for better times. Unfortunately a biker gang discovers them and they are followed by the zombies. Only the black man and the woman, who is pregnant, survive the final carnage.
