Battle to save Chicago
Hollywood sci-fi movie ‘Rampage’, a story of a primatologist and a geneticist who team up to stop three different animals infected with a dangerous pathogen destroying Chicago, is now being screened in theatres.
Loosely based on the video game series of the same name by Midway Games, the film is directed by Brad Peyton and it stars Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Malin Åkerman, Jake Lacy, Joe Manganiello, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It follows a primatologist named Davis Okoye who must team up with George, an albino gorilla who turns into a raging creature of enormous size following a rogue experiment, in order to stop an invasion of monsters.
Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.
Released by Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema, the film was shot in Chicago.
