World War Z is a zombie horror film about zombies taking over the world. It is loosely based on the best-selling novel of the same name written by Max Brooks. The movie stars Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane, a worker at the United Nations who searches the world for information that can stop the zombie outbreak that is threatening the survival of the human race. The official website says: "United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments,and threatening to decimate humanity itself." Brad Pitt's film production company Plan B Entertainment bought the movie rights to make the film in 2007. Filming began in 2011 in Malta, Glasgow and Budapest.
末日之戰是一部關于僵尸的恐怖電影，電影講述的是僵尸控制地球的故事。電影大體上是根據麥克斯·布魯克斯的同名小說改編而成。電影主演布拉德·皮特，他飾演蓋瑞·雷恩，蓋瑞是一名聯合國的工作人員，他的工作是在全球尋找能夠制止僵尸爆發的途徑，目前，僵尸正在威脅著人類的生存。官方網站稱：“聯合國工作人員蓋瑞·雷恩正在追趕時間，阻止僵尸的繼續蔓延，僵尸已經摧毀了軍隊，政府，人類正在遭受滅絕之災。”布拉德·皮特的制作公司‘替補計劃娛樂’買下了該電影的版權，并于2007年決定制作該部電影。2011年，電影開始在馬耳他，格拉斯哥和布達佩斯開始拍攝。
Writer of the original book, Max Brooks, said his work has been re-written so much that the movie and novel are now the same in name only. Brooks said: "I knew they were going to rewrite it. I grew up in Hollywood. I knew it was going to go through a million changes." He told moviegoers: "I cannot guarantee that the movie will be the book that they love." Many critics questioned why the movie was advertised as a horror film, when it was given a 13-PG (parental guidance) rating. There was also much talk about the movie being unable to recover its $400 million production costs. Britain's 'Guardian' newspaper examined whether Pitt was "making the most expensive disaster of all time" while the film was being made.
原書的作者麥克斯·布魯克斯認為他的作品已經遭到了人們的無數次重寫，現在的電影和小說只是名字相同罷了。布魯克斯說：“我知道他們將要重寫這部作品。我出生在好萊塢。我知道這部作品將要經過上百萬的變動。”他告訴那些影迷：“我不能保證的是電影將會像小說那樣受人們親睞?！痹S多影評人質疑到，為什么這部電影被打上了恐怖片的標簽，這部電影評為了13-PG電影（在父母的陪同下觀看）。這部電影并沒有收回4億美金的制作費用，對此人們眾說紛紜。英國衛報質疑皮特，質疑他為什么會制作出價格昂貴的災難片。
