The screenplay was written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, with Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Woody Harrelson in the lead roles.

Ruben Fleischer combines elements of horror and comedy in a unique way, presenting the world of zombies in a different light. Three companions, Tallahassee, Columbus, and Wichita, struggle to survive against the zombies in a tragicomic manner. Although their initial meeting with Tallahassee is a bit rocky, they quickly become close friends and start fighting together in this ravaged world full of zombies. Despite overcoming numerous challenges together, they will face even worse situations and must also resolve their internal conflicts. Their trust in each other is stronger than the zombies in the world, and when they establish that trust among themselves, they will be able to put up a stronger fight.
