Shaun (Simon Pegg) is an appliance salesman whose life is going nowhere. He follows a mundane routine and his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) is dissatisfied with their relationship, primarily because it revolves around going to The Winchester, Shaun's favourite pub, every night. Following a broken promise to do something special for their anniversary, Liz dumps Shaun. He decides to drown his sorrows at the pub with his other flatmate Ed (Nick Frost), his best friend. After a night of drinking, he has an epiphany and resolves to sort his life out. Unfortunately, this revelation comes at the same time as an uprising of the undead, who begin to attack and devour the living. Shaun and Ed grab whatever is at hand to repel the attacking zombies, summoning reserves of strength they didn't know they possessed and straining muscles they forgot they had. Rounding up friends and family, they press on towards the sanctuary of the Winchester. All that stands in their way are hordes of the flesh-eating undead.
