The sisters reveal that they are going to the Pacific Playland amusement park in Los Angeles, an area supposedly free of zombies. Tallahassee steals his gun back and has a stand-off with Wichita, until Columbus intervenes saying that they have bigger problems to worry about, resulting in an uneasy truce between them. However, the girls spring another trap for them and take them hostage. The two men find a yellow Hummer H2 loaded with weapons and go after the sisters. The sisters turn out to be con artists and trick Tallahassee and Columbus into handing over their weapons by pretending that Little Rock is infected by the disease, then stealing their Escalade. The pair meets Wichita ( Emma Stone) and her younger sister Little Rock ( Abigail Breslin) in a grocery store. Tallahassee mentions he misses his puppy, "Buck" that was killed by zombies, as well as his addiction to Twinkies, which he actively tries to find. Though he does not appear to be friendly, Tallahassee reluctantly allows Columbus to travel with him. He encounters Tallahassee ( Woody Harrelson), another survivor, who is particularly aggressive when killing zombies. Lonely 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. Survivors of the zombie epidemic have learned that growing attached to other survivors is not advisable because they could die at any moment, so many have taken to using their city of origin as nicknames. Two months have passed since a strain of mad cow disease mutated into "mad person disease" that became "mad zombie disease", which overran the entire United States (with the infection presumably spreading to the rest of the world), turning many Americans into vicious zombies. A sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, was released in 2019. 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 U.S. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 25, 2009, and was theatrically released on October 2, 2009, in the United States by Columbia Pictures.

Zombieland is a 2009 American zombie comedy film directed by Ruben Fleischer in his theatrical debut and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
