This morning, Netflix hosted a global livestream event on their YouTube channel. There fans tuned in for an interactive experience that unlocked the first 15 Minutes of Army of The Dead.
Following a mission briefing by cast members Dave Bautista and Matthias Schweighöfer, it was revealed that the opening sequence of the film was buried (literally) in an underground vault deep in the Mojave Desert outside of Las Vegas.
The fans who participated from around the world were tasked with flooding the comments function in the livestream chat, which powered a massive bulldozer and crane to lift the multi-ton safe containing the first 15 minutes of Army of The Dead from the earth. Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Ana De La Reguera, Nora Arnezeder, Tig Notaro, and more were also on hand to encourage fans. When the vault was finally opened, Zack Snyder himself congratulated the group on their accomplishments and introduced the sneak peek of his newest zombie-heist film.

Audiences now only have 32 hours to watch the unforgettable beginning of Army of The Dead on the Netflix YouTube channel (or below). The same amount of time that Scott Ward (Dave Bautista) and his crew have to break into zombie-infested Las Vegas to retrieve the $200 million from a vault beneath the strip before they nuke the city. This first 15 minutes of Army of The Dead on the Netflix YouTube channel will self-destruct at 7:00 pm PT on Friday, May 14th.
Army of the Dead Synopsis:
From Zack Snyder (300, Justice League). ARMY OF THE DEAD takes place following a zombie outbreak. One that left Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world. Enter Scott Ward (Dave Bautista). A displaced Vegas local, former zombie war hero. He’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home. But then casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada) approaches him. And he has the ultimate proposition. Break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip. Before the government nukes the city in 32 hours. Driven by the hope that the payoff could help pave the way to a reconciliation with his estranged daughter Kate (Ella Purnell), Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist.

They include Maria Cruz (Ana de la Reguera), an ace mechanic and Ward’s old friend; Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick), a zombie killing machine; Marianne Peters (Tig Notaro), a cynical helicopter pilot; Mikey Guzman (Raúl Castillo), a go-for-broke influencer and Chambers (Samantha Win), his ride-or-die; Martin (Garret Dillahunt), the casino’s head of security; a badass warrior known as the Coyote (Nora Arnezeder) who recruits Burt Cummings (Theo Rossi), a slimy security guard; and a brilliant German safe cracker Dieter (Matthias Schweighöfer). Scott finds an unexpected emotional hurdle when Kate joins the expedition to search for Geeta (Huma S. Qureshi), a mother who’s gone missing inside the city. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in, only one thing’s for certain in the greatest heist ever attempted: survivors take all.
