“Doomsday” (2008) overview

[ “Doomsday” poster and cover ]

A futuristic action thriller where a team of people work to prevent a disaster threatening the future of the human race. A deadly virus, known as "Reaper," has broken out, killing most of the Earth's population.

In desperation, the British Government evacuates as many survivors as it can out of the infected area, and then builds a wall, preventing the remainder from escaping. Doomsday takes place years later. The plan works for a while, until the virus reappears in noninfected areas.

The Government decides to send a crack team of operatives, led by Major Eden Sinclair (played by Rhona Mitra), into the infected areas in Scotland to investigate the possibility of a cure before humanity is totally eliminated from the planet.

Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare...
