Day of the Dead (1985)
The Third part in Romero's original "of the Dead" series, Day of the Dead, follows a group of soldiers, scientists, and survivors attempting to solve the never-ending zombie outbreak before humanity is wiped out. Living in an underground bunker in Florida, the various groups come together to solve these critical problems. But when the soldier's "shoot first, ask questions later" approach overwhelms the progress made by the scientists, everything begins to fall apart, with the looming threat of the undead only one shutter door away.
