Content
The film takes place within a post-apocalyptic context, beginning with narration from Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), a college student from Austin, Texas, who is on his way to Columbus to see if his parents are alright. He begins by explaining his "rules" for surviving the zombie apocalypse, which is a recurring motif in the film. After surviving a few zombie attacks, he encounters Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), whose life goal is to find the remaining Twinkies on Earth. To avoid attachment, Tallahassee insists that no real names be used so they instead go by their intended destinations: Columbus and Tallahassee, as that's where they're each heading.
As Columbus and Tallahassee search a grocery store for Twinkies, they meet two girls, Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). Through a con, the girls get their weapons and car, but the men find a Hummer H2 loaded with weapons and head out to find the girls. Later, the girls use their own weapons to get the H2 after their stolen car breaks down. After a small fight, Columbus convinces them that it's better to stick together.
Wichita informs Columbus that Columbus, Ohio is destroyed and completely overrun by zombies. Columbus is upset and is given a chance to find his own way, but falling for Wichita, he decides to stay. They decide to drive towards Pacific Playland, an amusement park that is supposedly zombie-free. On the way, they go to Hollywood, and decide to sleep at the house of Bill Murray. They meet Murray, who at first seems to be zombified, but it's just make-up so that he can fit in with the zombies and play golf. Murray decides to scare Columbus and Little Rock, but Columbus doesn't know it's a joke and shoots Murray, killing him.
Tallahassee reveals he had a son that died (Columbus was originally told by Tallahassee that he lost his puppy to the zombies) and Columbus and Wichita start to fall in love which scares her. The girls leave for Pacific Playland (with Wichita and Little Rock trying to convince themselves that they should stick to their original plan of trusting each other and no one else). However, Columbus decides to go after Wichita, and Tallahassee joins him using one of Bill Murray's cars.
When the girls arrive at Pacific Playland, they turn on all the rides and lights, unintentionally attracting all the nearby zombies. A huge battle ensues, and as the girls are about to run out of ammo, Tallahassee and Columbus arrive and join the battle while the girls are trapped on a ride. Tallahassee manages to kill some of the zombies, then intentionally locks himself in a game booth while Columbus tries to save the girls. Columbus runs out of ammo and faces a clown (his biggest fear), but he kills it with a giant mallet and saves the girls while Tallahassee, using the advantage of being in an enclosed space the zombies can't get into, takes out the rest single-handedly.
After all the zombies in the area are dead, Columbus and Tallahassee investigate a fast food booth for Twinkies, but shoot at a door they thought might have a zombie behind it. It turns out to be just a rat, but Columbus' shot has destroyed the box of Twinkies behind the door in the room. However, Little Rock finds a Twinkie and gives it to Tallahassee, making Columbus realize that this is the only family he needs. Columbus and Wichita (who reveals her real name is Krista) kiss and the four leave Pacific Playland together, but not before the girls pretend to abandon them again as a joke and Tallahasee kills one final zombie with the car door.
