World War Z film ending

Brad Pitt stars in World War Z, the top grossing zombie movie of all time. This zombie movie is on pace to earn $200+ million in the domestic box office. The Walking Dead on AMC gave the zombie genre a boost to become the top horror genre as of right now.

World War Z is delivering the success most anticipated before its release three weeks ago, though the box office numbers are much higher. The World War Z movie ending features a morale finale that we expected in The Darkest Hour. If you haven't watched World War Z yet, then avoid reading the movie ending below. The ending contains spoilers that may ruin your movie experience.

***Spoiler Alert***

Gerry awakens in a research center named W.H.O. (World Health Organization). His side is surgically repaired due to injuries he endured in a plane crash. A doctor requests him to answer why he is there. Gerry continues to stare at another doctor present in the room, the man he knows is in charge. He informs the doctor to answer the phone. This is when Theirry reveals his identity as a high ranking United Nations official. The W.H.O doctors now realize the urgency. Gerry learns that he is family is no longer staying on the ship.  

The W.H.O. doctors discuss the zombie virus and how the researcher got infected. Gerry believes in a possible vaccination that can fight against the zombies. He traces two accounts in which two people - one boy and an old man - are spared in the zombie invasion. Apparently, these two individuals are infected with a terminal ill condition that zombies detect as inhabitable to breed the virus. 

The mission is to retrieve treatable viruses that are stored in the lab. There is a catch; the laboratory is swarming with zombies and these zombies are attracted to noise.  

Gerry, Segen, and the leading W.H.O doctor enter the blocked-off ward where infected researchers remain. This trio quietly advance toward the research facility. They find the cafeteria a mess. 

Zombies roam around. The lead doctor accidentally knocks over a metal tool. This alerts the zombies to attack the trio. Gerry diverts the zombies away to allow the doctor and Segen to gain access to the viruses. He runs up the stairs, hitting and banging a tool against the stair handles. 

The lead doctor and Segen determine it is too risky to retrieve the viruses. They abort the mission, where another doctor refuses to let the duo back into their quarters. Zombies are following right behind. However, the doctors decide to unlock the door and let the doctor and Segen inside. They seal the doors just in time before the zombies can enter. 

Gerry outsmarts the zombies, making his way back into the lab. A female doctor relays the door code to Gerry. He enters the biohazard room where the deadliest viruses are stored under cold conditions. 

The group watch on while Gerry is gathering test tubes containing a number of viruses. Gerry is about to leave the room, but he finds a zombie waiting outside of the room. This is his moment of truth. What is going to do now? 

Gerry decides he must test the virus on himself. If this experiment fails, Gerry will die. The zombie makes strange faces, awaiting the moment Gerry exits the room to attack.  

Gerry shows a sign to the monitor to tell Segen and the doctors to tell his family he loves them. He is seriously going to inject himself with a deadly virus. Gerry scavenges for a syringe. The doctors state that if Gerry is wrong about this vaccination against the zombies that he is a goner. 

Gerry injects his arm with the virus. He waits for the virus to enter his system. The room becomes colder. Gerry decides it is time to test whether the virus will camouflage him. The doctors and Segen grow weary in anticipation, hoping Gerry will not die. 

Gerry opens up the door. The zombie sniffs around him. It is determined that this virus fends off the zombie. The doctors and Segen celebrate the victory. 

Gerry drinks a Pepsi. He is ready to lure the zombies toward him. Gerry releases the Pepsi cans that begin to spray soda. The noise attract the zombies waiting outside of the door that houses the doctors and Segen. Gerry walks in the middle of the zombies. They don't suspect him at all. 

Inside the research bay, the female doctor injects a vaccination into Gerry to treat the meningitis. Gerry and Segen leave W.H.O. carrying diseases, delivering a new hope to humanity. 

The vaccinations are dropped in fields to disguise the unaffected. Soldiers are biologically camouflaged with this vaccination to battle the zombies. The zombies are incapable of sensing those infected with another strain. Whereas the disease is no cure, it represents a weapon to fight the zombies. 

Gerry is reunited with his family in Nova Scotia. His wife Karen, daughters, and Tomas welcome him.

People on buildings are torching zombies that attempt to climb up like ants. 

Gerry narrates that this fight against the zombies is just the beginning. 

The End.
