Invited to spend the night, Selena and Jim privately debate whether they should remain with Frank and Hannah. Frank ( Brendan Gleeson) and his teenage daughter Hannah ( Megan Burns), have holed up in their flat. They then hear the sounds of approaching infected and race up the remainder of the stairs where a man in police riot gear directs them to his apartment and fends off the infected. Selena explains that he's crashing from the sugar in the soda he'd been drinking for the past few days. About halfway up the stairs, Jim has to stop because he has a pounding headache. They see Christmas lights blinking in a high-rise tenement and go to check it out. She warns that should he become infected, she will kill him "in a heartbeat." As the two journey through the derelict city the next day, Selena rules out intimacy between her and Jim, declaring that only the fight for survival remains. Despite his pleas, Selena immediately hacks him to death with a machete, explaining to Jim that infection is spread through contact with contaminated blood and overwhelms its victims in seconds, rendering them deadly to others. That night, several Infected attack the survivors, and when the fight ends, Mark is bleeding from a nasty slash on his arm. He discovers that his parents committed suicide. Though they think it's a bad plan, Selena and Mark accompany Jim. Jim insists on going to his parents' house. They reveal that while Jim was comatose, the virus spread uncontrollably among the populace, turning most people into vicious murderers ("the Infected") and resulting in societal collapse, possibly on a global scale. He's chased through the streets by the infected people before being rescued by two survivors, Selena ( Naomie Harris) and Mark ( Noah Huntley), who rush him to their hideout in the London Underground, using explosive charges attached to gasoline pumps to cover their escape. He quickly discovers that the people are raging monsters who attack him. While he wanders the streets, calling out for anyone who might still be around, he finds a church where a large group of people have gathered. As he leaves the hospital, he discovers London is completely deserted and rife with signs of catastrophe. Twenty-eight days later, a bicycle courier named Jim ( Cillian Murphy) awakens from a coma in a deserted hospital after he was treated for injuries he sustained on the job. The infection seems to spread very quickly through its victims, turning them into uncontrollable monsters in a matter of seconds. Disregarding the warnings of a lab staffer, the activists ultimately free the Rage virus subjects, which attack and infect the activists and scientist. DeMille's The Ten Commandments may not be the most subtle and sophisticated entertainment ever concocted, but it tells its story with a clarity and vitality that few Biblical scholars have ever been able to duplicate.Late one night, British animal rights activists break into a laboratory to free chimpanzees being used for medical research.

Meanwhile, the Hebrews, led by the duplicitous Dathan (Edward G. Sinai, who delivers unto him the Ten Commandments. Later, Moses is again confronted by God on Mt. But Moses rescues his people with a little Divine legerdemain by parting the Seas. As the Hebrews reach the Red Sea, they discover that Rameses has gone back on his word and plans to have them all killed. Only after the Deadly Plagues have decimated Egypt does Rameses give in. Banished by his jealous half-brother Rameses (Yul Brynner), Moses returns fully bearded to Pharoah's court, warning that he's had a message from God and that the Egyptians had better free the Hebrews post-haste if they know what's good for them. Moses (Charlton Heston) starts out "in solid" as Pharoah's adopted son (and a whiz at designing pyramids, dispensing such construction-site advice as "Blood makes poor mortar"), but when he discovers his true Hebrew heritage, he attempts to make life easier for his people. The story relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians.
