PLANET TERROR
Planet Terror (Originaltitel Grindhouse: Planet Terror) ist ein Action- und Horrorfilm aus dem Jahr 2007 von Regisseur Robert Rodriguez. Er ist Teil des Double Features Grindhouse, dessen Gegenstück Quentin Tarantinos Death Proof – Todsicher ist.
Planet Terror is a 2007 American action horror science-fiction film written, cinematographied, scored, co-edited, produced and directed by Robert Rodriguez, about a group of people attempting to survive an onslaught of zombie-like creatures as they feud with a military unit, including a go-go dancer searching for a way to use her "useless talents." The film, a tribute to the zombie film genre, stars Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Josh Brolin, Marley Shelton, Naveen Andrews, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, Stacy Ferguson and Bruce Willis. Planet Terror was released theatrically in North America as part of a double feature with Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof under the title Grindhouse in order to replicate the experience of viewing exploitation films in a "grindhouse" theater.
Die Gogo-Tänzerin Cherry Darling kündigt ihre bisherige Stelle in einem Nachtclub und will nun Stand-up-Komikerin werden. Auf einer texanischen Landstraße begegnen ihr Militärfahrzeuge, die auf dem Weg zu einer nahe gelegenen Militärbasis sind. Dort will ihr Anführer Lt. Muldoon vom Biochemiker Abby eine weitere Dosis eines gefährlichen Giftgases namens DC2 erwerben. Seine Männer und er selbst wurden in Afghanistan mit DC2 vergiftet und damit zu Zombies, nur das Gift selbst wirkt als Gegengift und verhindert die zerstörerischen Nebenwirkungen. Im Zuge einer Auseinandersetzung mit Muldoon setzt Abby das Gas frei, das sich nun in der Umgebung der Basis ausbreitet und die Bewohner in Zombies verwandelt.
Währenddessen befindet sich Cherry Darling im „The Bone Shack“, dem von J.T. Hague betriebenen Barbecue-Restaurant. Dort trifft sie zufällig ihren Ex-Freund El Wray, den sie vor einiger Zeit verlassen hatte und den sie nun bittet, sie zurück in die Stadt zu bringen. Auf dem Weg werden sie von Zombies angegriffen, die über Cherry herfallen und ihr rechtes Bein abreißen, bevor El Wray sie durch Schüsse vertreiben kann. El Wray fährt Cherry nun ins Krankenhaus.
Dort treffen sie auf den psychopathischen Dr. William Block und seine Frau, die Anästhesistin Dakota Block, die gerade heute ihren Plan durchführen will, ihren Mann zu verlassen, um mit ihrer lesbischen Freundin Tammy durchzubrennen. Bald taucht auch Sheriff Hague auf und verhaftet den mysteriösen El Wray wegen Waffenbesitzes. Auf der Polizeistation erreicht Sheriff Hague ein Notruf seines Bruders, des Steakhouse-Besitzers J.T., der von zwei Zombies belästigt wird. Kurz darauf greifen andere Zombies die Polizeistation an.
Nach weiteren Verwicklungen gelangen die Überlebenden zur Militärbasis, wo sie Muldoon töten und aus der Basis fliehen. Die Hague-Brüder sterben dabei, und auch El Wray wird getötet. Cherry gelangt mit dem Rest der Überlebenden nach Mexiko, wo sie „das Meer immer im Rücken haben“, um von dort aus die Gegenoffensive zu starten. Dort wird auch ihre Tochter geboren, die in einer letzten Liebesnacht der beiden gezeugt wurde.
Am Ende des Abspanns sieht man den kleinen Sohn von Dakota Block am mexikanischen Strand mit den Tieren seines Terrariums spielen, obwohl er sich zuvor aus Versehen selbst erschossen hatte.
In a rural town in Texas, go-go dancer Cherry Darling (Rose McGowan) decides to quit her low-paying job and find another use for her "useless' talents. She runs into her mysterious ex-boyfriend El Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) at the Bone Shack, a BBQ restaurant owned by JT Hague (Jeff Fahey) and his sheriff brother (Michael Biehn). Meanwhile, a group of officials at a nearby US military base, led by the demented Lt. Muldoon (Bruce Willis), are making a business transaction with a chemical engineer named Abby (Naveen Andrews) for mass quantities of a deadly biochemical agent known as DC2 (codename "Project Terror"). When Muldoon learns that Abby has an extra supply on hand, he attempts to take Abby hostage, and Abby intentionally releases the gas into the air. The gas reaches the town and turns most of its residents into deformed bloodthirsty psychopaths, referred to as "sickos" by the surviving humans. The infected townspeople are treated by the sinister Dr. William Block (Josh Brolin) and his unhappy, unfaithful bisexual anesthesiologist wife Dakota (Marley Shelton) at a local hospital.
Random zombie attacks begin along the highway, causing El Wray, with Cherry as his passenger, to crash his truck. In the aftermath, several zombies tear off Cherry's right leg. Also falling victim, fatally, is Tammy (Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson), who was on her way to into town to reunite with her former lover Dakota. When Tammy's body arrives at the hospital, Dr. Block recognizes her and by comparing text messages on the cellular phones of Tammy and his wife, realizes Dakota was about to leave him. He then attacks Dakota with her own anesthetic syringe needles, stabbing her repeatedly in the hands, rendering them useless, before locking her in a closet to tend to other patients, including Cherry, who despite her injury does not die.
El Wray is detained by Sheriff Hague based on past encounters between the two men. As the patients transform into zombies, El Wray leaves the police station and arrives at the hospital, attaching a wooden table leg to Cherry's stump. As El Wray and Cherry fight their way out of the zombie-infested hospital, Dakota escapes to her car, but in struggling to open its door with her numbed hands, accidentally breaks her left wrist. She eventually manages to drive away. Meanwhile, Block becomes infected and others, including Cherry and El Wray, take refuge at the Bone Shack.
Dakota retrieves her son Tony and takes him to her father, Earl McGraw, a Texas Ranger. Tony, who was given a revolver by his mother, accidentally shoots himself in the face after being told not to point it at himself. Cherry and El Wray make love in JT's bedroom. Due to a missing reel, what happens immediately following this is unknown, but when the film returns, Sheriff Hague has been shot in the neck by one of his own officers, and zombies are massing outside the Bone Shack, which is set on fire. Dakota, Earl, and Tony's crazed babysitter twins arrive at the Bone Shack. With Sheriff Hague badly injured, the group decides to flee to the Mexican border, before being stopped by a large mob of zombies. Muldoon's men arrive, and kill the zombies before arresting the group. They learn from Abby that the soldiers are stealing Abby's supply of the gas because they are infected with it and the only treatment is by constant inhalation of the gas, which delays mutation. They also learn that a small percentage of population is immune to the gas, suggesting a possible treatment, which is why Muldoon quarantined the survivors.
As Cherry and Dakota are taken away by two soldiers (Quentin Tarantino credited as "Rapist #1" and Greg Kelly credited as "Rapist #2"), the others defeat the security guards. J.T. sustains a gunshot wound in the process, and the group searches for Muldoon. Discovered by El Wray and Abby, Muldoon explains that he killed Osama bin Laden before he and his men were infected with DC2 and were ordered to protect the area. El Wray offers a respectful recognition of Muldoon's military service before he and Abby shoot the mutating Muldoon.
Meanwhile, Cherry is forced to dance by Rapist #1 while being held at gunpoint. Cherry attacks by breaking her wooden leg across the rapist's face and stabbing him in his eye with the stump. Dakota, after realizing she has regained feeling in her hands, quick-draws her syringe launcher and stuns Rapist #2. El Wray and Abby arrive to rescue Cherry and Dakota, and El Wray replaces Cherry's broken wooden leg with a modified M4 Carbine with a M203 grenade launcher attachment. She promptly kills Rapist #1 and several zombies with it.
J.T., wounded and lying beside his dying brother, stays behind to detonate explosives to eliminate the zombies still in the complex while the others flee. The survivors make plans to escape by stealing helicopters but must fight past the remaining zombies. Abby dies (and hope for a cure with him) when a ballistic projectile blows his head up. An infected Block then arrives and is killed by Earl, shortly before the survivors use the blade tips of their transport helicopter to decapitate all the remaining zombies. However, while saving Cherry from a zombie, El Wray is fatally wounded. In the epilogue, Cherry (now sporting a minigun prosthetic leg) leads the group and many more survivors to the Caribbean beach at Tulum, Mexico, where they start a peaceful new society amid a world-wide zombie infection. In the final moments of the film, it is revealed that Cherry Darling has given birth to El Wray's daughter (alluded to earlier during El Wray's final scene when he puts his hand on her stomach and restates his motto "I never miss").
In a post-credits scene Dakota's son Tony is sitting on the beach at the survivor's "base" playing with his turtle, scorpion, and tarantula.
