Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

The movie begins with Ron, a janitor, cleaning the halls of a research facility while enjoying music. During his rounds, he stumbles upon a peculiar scene behind a curtain, leading him to discover a man connected to an ominous machine.

Upon inspecting the man, Ron is horrified to learn he is in a critical state with pale, veiny skin. As he attempts CPR, Ron is met with the surreal realization that his hands penetrate the man's stomach, showcasing a moment of pure panic.

Just as Ron grapples with the shocking incident, the man suddenly revives and lunges at him. This unexpected turn marks the beginning of chaos as Ron's frenzied attempts to escape coincide with Dr. Pieter's snack break.

The scene shifts to three childhood friends, Ben, Carter, and Augie, attending their scout registration with their leader, Rogers. The event is disheartening as they are the only attendees, leaving them feeling demoralized yet hopeful for Augie's badge ceremony that evening.

While driving home, Carter broaches the subject of quitting scouting, signifying their struggle with the death of Augie's father. Their conversation is abruptly interrupted by a deer that runs into their path, causing a flat tire and setting off a series of events.

As the boys attempt to fix the flat tire, Carter's sister, Kendall, arrives with her boyfriend Jeff and friend Chloe. Ben's crush on Kendall complicates matters, and the boys are tempted by the prospect of attending a secret senior party later that night.

On their way home, the boys encounter their cantankerous neighbor, Ms. Fielder, who reprimands them for their litter. This comic relief highlights the lighter moments amidst the mounting tension they are facing.

Meanwhile, an ominous event unfolds in the woods as Rogers discovers Dr. Pieter's badge. To his shock, he is attacked by a deer that has transformed into a menacing zombie, marking the beginning of a terrifying outbreak.

Ben and Carter make a stop at a liquor store before heading to the ceremony, hoping to grab some beers. Their plans backfire when they attract the attention of a drunken bum who leads them to Denise, who helps them snag the beers.

Once in the woods with Augie, the boys reminisce about their childhood, creating a heartwarming atmosphere. However, the tension escalates when Augie, feeling abandoned, finds out about their plans to sneak out to the party.

As night falls, Ben and Carter embark on a chaotic adventure filled with zombies at every turn. They discover the devastation of the liquor store and must run for their lives from the undead, encountering grotesque creatures along their path.

With the rec center as their destination, the boys find themselves cornered by a growing horde of zombies. They must rely on teamwork and ingenuity, fighting off the undead while keeping their spirits high amidst the terror.

During the fray at the rec center, they are shocked to encounter Kendall's ex-boyfriend Jeff among the zombies. This unexpected twist adds complexity to their fight for survival as they navigate emotional ties amidst the chaos.

Through a combination of clever improvisation and bravery, Ben finally overcomes his fears and seizes a chance to pursue Kendall. In a heartwarming moment, he kisses her, symbolizing hope and potential for future adventures.

As the credits roll, the audience is treated to glimpses of the boys' deepened friendships forged through hardship. The final scene features a comedic twist, leaving viewers to ponder the unpredictable nature of life after a zombie apocalypse.
