Doomsday is a 2008 British science fiction film written and directed by Neil Marshall. The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world that has been mostly wiped out by a lethal virus. Rhona Mitra stars as the heroine who leads a team to seek a cure in inhospitable territory when the virus begins to belatedly emerge in their preserved homeland. Marshall cited Doomsday as an homage to numerous films from his childhood, including Mad Max and Escape from New York. Filming took place in Scotland and South Africa in the course of 2007. Doomsday will be released on March 14 2008 in the United States and Canada.

Great Britain, 2007. A deadly plague, known as the "Reaper Virus," has broken out, killing hundreds of thousands in its wake. 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. Thirty years later, with the wall still up and the victims all but forgotten, the virus breaks out again. The Government decides to send a crack team of operatives, led by Major Eden Sinclair, into the hot zone to investigate the possibility of a cure. Written by manikman
