Army of the Dead landed on Netflix in spring 2021 and quickly became one of the most-watched Netflix original films with an estimated 75 million viewers. Why, you ask? Well, people can’t get enough of zombie movies. Then throw a heist on top of that, and any and everyone wants to see what Army of the Dead is about.

It’s a zombie heist film that follows a group of soldiers who plan a Las Vegas casino heist while the city is overrun with zombies. With the star-studded cast listed above and an exciting plot, you’re going to love this film.

We would like to mention that this Netflix movie isn’t for everybody. Seeing as though it’s rated R, kids should definitely not be watching this movie. And if you’re a person who doesn’t like a lot of swearing, blood, and gore, you might want to skip out on this film. However, we hope you give this movie a try. It’s pretty good!

Also, you can check out the spinoff prequel Army of Thieves now on Netflix. In addition, there is an upcoming anime-style series and a direct sequel to Army of the Dead coming soon to Netflix titled Lost Vegas and Planet of the Dead.
