World War Z centers on a United Nations worker named Gerry Lane (Pitt). His family — as well as humanity — is put in danger after a pandemic breaks out. Lane’s in a race against time to remedy the fast-spreading disease before it’s too late. World War Z also stars Matthew Fox, David Morse and James Badge Dale.
