In an extended prologue set in 1982, best friends Brenner and Cooper head off to the newly opened video arcade in town, where Brenner immediately excels at classic games such as Pac-Man, Centipede and Space Invaders. In fact, he’s so good he gets to participates in an arcade championship, only to come in second after losing a game of Donkey Kong to a guy called Eddie (Peter Dinklage). We then cut to present day where Cooper (Kevin James) is now the hugely unpopular president of the USA, while his buddy Brenner (Adam Sandler) wears an orange uniform and installs people’s TVs for a living.

Following a zombie outbreak, a bunch of survivors end up with the task of escorting the only known survivor of a zombie bite to a lab where they need his blood in order to produce a vaccine. Along the way, they end up in all kinds of trouble and get to kill a lot of zombies. You won’t really care whether all of them make it or not, because you don’t really get to know any of the characters involved. Oh yeah, you also get to follow Citizen Z (DJ Qualls), a nerd stuck in an army base way, way up north, who helps guide the survivors to the lab.
