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.
末日之战是一部关于僵尸的恐怖电影，电影讲述的是僵尸控制地球的故事。电影大体上是根据麦克斯·布鲁克斯的同名小说改编而成。电影主演布拉德·皮特，他饰演盖瑞·雷恩，盖瑞是一名联合国的工作人员，他的工作是在全球寻找能够制止僵尸爆发的途径，目前，僵尸正在威胁着人类的生存。官方网站称：“联合国工作人员盖瑞·雷恩正在追赶时间，阻止僵尸的继续蔓延，僵尸已经摧毁了军队，政府，人类正在遭受灭绝之灾。”布拉德·皮特的制作公司‘替补计划娱乐’买下了该电影的版权，并于2007年决定制作该部电影。2011年，电影开始在马耳他，格拉斯哥和布达佩斯开始拍摄。
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.
原书的作者麦克斯·布鲁克斯认为他的作品已经遭到了人们的无数次重写，现在的电影和小说只是名字相同罢了。布鲁克斯说：“我知道他们将要重写这部作品。我出生在好莱坞。我知道这部作品将要经过上百万的变动。”他告诉那些影迷：“我不能保证的是电影将会像小说那样受人们亲睐。”许多影评人质疑到，为什么这部电影被打上了恐怖片的标签，这部电影评为了13-PG电影（在父母的陪同下观看）。这部电影并没有收回4亿美金的制作费用，对此人们众说纷纭。英国卫报质疑皮特，质疑他为什么会制作出价格昂贵的灾难片。
