Synopsis

GRINDHOUSE recreates the 'Grindhouse' movie experience of the 1970s and 80s where two feature-length segments of B-movies are moulded into one double-bill. Here Quentin Tarantino's DEATH PROOF and Robert Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR are combined into a rather lengthy 191-minute film.

DEATH PROOF follows the exploits of a psycho killer Mike (Kurt Russell), a stuntman who murders women with his car while in PLANET TERROR a rural sheriff is besieged by zombies nicknamed 'sickos' who go on a killing spry. Gun toting Cherry (Rose McGowan) and martial arts fighter Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) join forces in their fight to regain control of the town.
