The Crazies

Imagine living in a small town where everything is safe and happy... until suddenly it isn't. Imagine your friends and neighbors going quickly and horrifically insane. In a terrifying tale of the "American Dream" gone horribly wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown in "The Crazies," a reinvention of the George Romero classic directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Ray Wright and Scott Kosar.

David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school
baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns
down his own house…after locking his wife and young son in a closet
inside. Within days, the town has transformed into a sickening asylum;
people who days ago lived quiet, unremarkable lives have now become
depraved, blood-thirsty killers, hiding in the darkness with guns and
knives. Sheriff Dutton tries to make sense of what's happening as the
horrific, nonsensical violence escalates. Something is infecting the
citizens of Ogden Marsh... with insanity. Now complete anarchy reigns
as one by one the townsfolk succumb to an unknown toxin and turn
sadistically violent. In an effort to keep the madness contained, the
government uses deadly force to close off all access and won't let
anyone in or out – even those uninfected. The few still sane find
themselves trapped: Sheriff Dutton; his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha
Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical
center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutton's deputy and right-hand man.
Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a horrifying struggle for survival as they do their best to get out of town alive.
