Planet Terror Plot Summary
What happens in Planet Terror from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Cherry Darling [Rose McGowan] is a fearless go-go dancer who crosses paths with her enigmatic ex, El Wray [Freddy Rodríguez], at the Bone Shack—a seedy roadside hangout run by the Hague brothers, J.T. Hague [Jeff Fahey] and Sheriff Hague [Michael Biehn]. Their reunion stirs trouble, but it’s nothing compared to the escalating danger as a demented Lt. Muldoon [Bruce Willis] strikes a secret deal with a chemical engineer named Abby [Naveen Andrews] to acquire a powerful biochemical agent known as DC2. When Muldoon discovers Abby has an extra dose, he seizes it and disperses the gas, releasing a chemical apocalypse that mutates a large portion of the town’s residents into grotesque, bloodthirsty zombies.
