What does Las Vegas have in common with a horde of the undead? "There's an addiction to gambling in a way that makes us zombies," Nora Arnezeder, one of the stars of Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead, tells SYFY WIRE. "I like the parallel between the world of Vegas and the zombie apocalypse. I think it's interesting." It's a rather perfect comparison that adds another thematic dimension to a film about a group of ragtag mercenaries trying to pull off an Ocean's 11-style heist several years after Sin City became ground zero for a zombie outbreak. With the government planning to nuke Vegas off the map in just a few hours' time, the aforementioned group of opportunity seekers (led by Dave Bautista's Scott Ward) need to get into a high security vault, nab $200 million, and get their butts out — all while trying not to get bitten by the flesh-hungry showgirls, pit bosses, buffet chefs, Elvis impersonators, and a friggin' zombie tiger. The prototypical Shamblers aren't much of an issue, it's the Alphas you have to worry about. They're smarter than the average zombie!
