An epidemic causes most of the people in an unnamed city to go blind, resulting in the collapse of society. The film follows several people as they try to survive in a makeshift prison set up by the government as a quarantine area. The group includes a doctor (Mark Ruffalo) and his wife (Julianne Moore). The doctor's wife is unaffected, but hides this fact.
The people in ward 3, led by a man who proclaims himself "king of ward 3", have control over the food and have a gun, and use this to demand valuables from the others, and even sexual services by the women. Reluctantly they comply. The doctor's wife kills the king of ward 3. A man in her ward suggests to find out who did this killing, and hand this person over to ward 3 to appease them.
After a fire the doctor's wife discovers that the guards have left, so the people are free now. The first blind man recovers from his blindness, giving the others hope.
not heard many good things about it . meant to be some disturbing rape scenes in it as well
Will give it a shot though

José Saramago's novel that this movie is based on is pretty good, think I'll actually read it again before watching this. Book is almost always better than the movie, after all.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
