[REC] 4: Apocalypse Plot Summary

What happens in [REC] 4: Apocalypse from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

A Special Forces Team is sent to an apartment complex to rescue a reporter named Ángela and destroy the building, navigating a tense aftermath that turns the mission into a fight for survival. After an overwhelming assault from infected firefighters and residents, the only obvious survivors are Lucas and Guzman, who manage to complete the assignment even as the place falls into chaos around them. The narrative then shifts to a larger, more ominous stage: Ángela awakens on a ship, chained to a bed, with her memory drifting and no clear explanation for her predicament. A medical team led by Dr. Ginard takes a careful blood sample from her, while Lucas and Guzman remain aboard the quarantined vessel, cut off from the outside world.
