28 Years Later is a 2025 British post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. Serving as the long-awaited third installment in the 28 Days Later franchise, the film stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Williams, and Ralph Fiennes.
Set nearly three decades after the outbreak of the Rage Virus, the story follows a young boy named Spike, who embarks on a perilous journey from the quarantined sanctuary of Lindisfarne island into the infected wastelands of mainland Britain.
