Range 15

After a night of debauchery, five military comrades wake up in a drunk tank to a city that has fallen into chaos. They quickly realize the world outside is overrun by the undead. A zombified Richard Chindler lunges at Rocco, and Rocco kills him with a decisive head strike. Despite the danger, the men feel a strange thrill at the chaos surrounding them.

As they move through the city, they encounter the first wave of the undead and hastily kill a zombified transgender woman. They also witness Marcus Luttrell in danger as zombies close in. They seize batons from a nearby police station, arming themselves for the fight ahead. The sense of urgency turns into resolve as they push forward.

A mortally wounded soldier urges them to reach Range 15, but he begins transforming before they can help. Mat intervenes and ends the transformation with a baton strike. The warning lingers as the group presses on through the city toward their distant safe point. The scale of the threat becomes personal with each step.

They reach a police armory where Heather and Eliza shelter inside while Evan Hafer is cuffed to a chair for not sharing weapons. The group studies a map and learns that Range 15 is an ELE fallback point. They stock up on rifles and sidearms and prepare for the journey. The armory becomes the turning point that sets their path in motion.

With their new weapons, the team commits to heading toward Range 15. They decide to use Jarred’s seized whiskey truck to move supplies and sustain the journey. The bond among the survivors grows as they push toward the ultimate destination. The road ahead is dangerous, but they are ready.

On the road leaving the impound lot, Evan is attacked by a zombie and nearly loses his life. Mat intervenes just in time, delivering a baton strike that ends the threat. The team regroups quickly and continues toward Range 15 with renewed focus. The close call underlines how fragile their situation remains.

They confront another flood of zombies and discover that a bad batch of distilled whiskey, mixed with an unknown component, can act as a cure. When Rocco tries to use a bottle as a Molotov, the plan backfires and reverts the infected to normal. Nick and the others realize the potential to use the cure to help their mission. The discovery changes the stakes for everyone.

Realizing the cure potential, Nick suggests delivering the whiskey directly into the bloodstream for faster absorption and taking the plan to Colonel Holloway. Holloway dispatches his top man to Range 15 to oversee testing. They also meet Sergeant Major Gene Vandenham, whose ego clashes with Mat and who warns that zombies are getting faster and stronger. The tension between authority and survival deepens the mission's stakes.

Holloway arranges helicopter transport to Range 15 to avoid the roads, but Pilot Grigsby reveals he is infected and chooses to jump from the helicopter, sacrificing himself. The team presses on on foot toward Range 15 despite the loss. The sacrifice underscores the cost of the mission.

Mat is bitten in the leg during a later zombie attack, forcing the team to adapt their plan. To accelerate the cure’s absorption, Nick and Rocco propose delivering the whiskey directly into the bloodstream, powering a more direct route to Range 15. The survivors endure a race against time as they head toward Range 15.

Mat is presumed dead but reappears at Range 15, claiming he was saved by the legendary Zombie Slaying Dream Team. The revelation lifts the team's mood as they brace for the defenses to hold. The truth of the rescue remains a mystery, fueling resolve.

At Range 15, 2LT Chandler radios that zombies are breaching the defenses, forcing a final stand. The survivors brace for impact as the siege tightens and the odds look grim. They prepare to defend the last line against the relentless assault.

Tim Kennedy faces off against Zombie Couture and emerges victorious in a brutal showdown. The team fights on through the chaos, holding their ground against the encroaching horde. Nearby, Mat confronts a zombified Danny Trejo in a brutal melee and ends that threat.

Back at Holloway, the president prepares to honor the saviors, but the praise goes to Sergeant Major Gene Vandenham instead. The moment leaves Mat frustrated and adds irony to the victory. The political twist casts a shadow over the celebration.

In the final moment, Rocco returns to a gas station they had stopped at earlier and shares a kiss with the zombie he once loved. He carries her into the fading sunset, and the scene closes on a strangely hopeful note. The ending lingers with a mix of tenderness and unease.
