Zombieland is a 2009 American zombie comedy film directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as survivors of a zombie apocalypse. The film follows geeky college kid, Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) making his way through a variety of different scenarios through this new zombie apocalypse. Columbus meets survivors Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock. Together, they take an extended road trip across the Southwestern United States in an attempt to find a sanctuary free from zombies.
Zombieland was a critical and commercial success, grossing more than $60.8 million in 17 days and surpassing the 2004 film Dawn of the Dead as the top-grossing zombie film in the United States until World War Z in 2013.
Two months have passed since a mutated strain of mad cow disease mutated into "mad person disease" that became "mad zombie disease" which overran the entire United States population, turning American people into vicious zombies. Unaffected college student "Columbus" (Jesse Eisenberg) is making his way from his college dorm in Austin, Texas to Columbus, Ohio to see whether his parents are still alive. He encounters "Tallahassee" (Woody Harrelson), another survivor who is particularly violent in killing zombies. Though he doesn't appear to be sociable, Tallahassee reluctantly allows Columbus to travel with him. Tallahassee mentions he misses his "puppy" that was killed by zombies, as well as his affinity for Twinkies, which he actively tries to find. Survivors of the zombie epidemic have learned that it would be best not to grow attached to other survivors, because they could die at any moment, so many have taken to using their city of origin as nicknames, i.e. "Columbus" is from Columbus, Ohio.
Accentuate the positive
Destroy all the negatives
Before the black mass media
Get a hold of them
Boy's been sniffing that frog powder
Drinking that genius juice
Shooting that monkey blood
We're gonna stomp in Zombieland, devil beat in Zombieland
We're gonna stomp that devil beat in Zombieland
We're gonna stomp that devil beat in Zombieland
Machines always do just what you tell them to do
As long as you do what they say
Machines gonna stomp that devil beat in Zombieland
Machines gonna stomp that devil beat in Zombieland
Look at that boy, he can't see nothing
He can't hear nothing, just put him over there
All the tides in Zombieland are to oblivion
Sniffing that frog powder
Blowing that Egyptian bone
Settling like a fog
We're gonna stomp in Zombieland, devil beat in Zombieland
We're gonna stomp that devil beat down in Zombieland
Speaking hieroglyphics with his pistol and his pills
Phantom conjured to a dark mojo
You want to know but you don't know
You want to know but you don't know
We're gonna stomp in Zombieland, devil beat in Zombieland
We're gonna stomp that devil beat in Zombieland
We're gonna stomp in Zombieland, devil beat in Zombieland
