Land of the Dead
Land of the Dead (also known as George A. Romero's Land of the Dead) is a 2005 post-apocalyptic horror film written and directed by George A.

It was released in 2005, with a budget of $15–19million, the highest in Romero's Dead series, and grossed $46million.
Plot
Years after the zombie apocalypse, the scattered remnants of human civilization have established a chain of protected city-states across North America. One such sanctuary is located in downtown Pittsburgh, ruled by a feudal-like government. Bordered on two sides by rivers and barricaded on the third with an electrified fence guarded by a militia, the city has become a relatively secure haven. Outside the city's barriers are barren countryside and dilapidated suburban towns long deserted by humans but overrun with numerous zombies. The rich and powerful live in a luxury high-rise called "Fiddler's Green", while the rest of the population subsists in squalor. All forms of commerce within this protected zone are controlled by Paul Kaufman, the city's ruthless plutocratic ruler who owns Dead Reckoning, an armored personnel vehicle that can easily travel through zombie-infested areas.
