In a terrifying tale of the American Dream gone wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown. A reinvention of the George A. Romero classic, "The Crazies" is directed by Breck Eisner (Sahara) and is based on a screenplay by Ray Wright (Pulse, Case 39) and Scott Kaser (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre).
David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant - "Hitman", "Deadwood") is sheriff in 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 house after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh... with insanity. Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a struggle for survival as they try to get out of town alive.

Switching from fright film to Holocaust metaphor without ever relinquishing its popcorn-flick credentials, this is a vivid portrait of small-town apocalypse that earns its place in the annals of horror remake excellence.
