Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Dawn of the Dead is a 1978 zombie horror film directed by the late George A. Romero. It stars the late David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott Reiniger, and Gaylen Ross.

As hordes of zombies swarm over the U.S., the terrified populace tries everything in their power to escape the attack of the undead, but neither cities nor the countryside prove safe. In Pennsylvania, radio-station employee Stephen (David Emge) and his girlfriend, Francine (Gaylen Ross), escape in the station helicopter, accompanied by two renegade SWAT members, Roger and Pete. The group retreats to the haven of an enclosed shopping center to make what could be humanity's last stand.
