""28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," directed by Nia DaCosta ("The Marvels," "Hedda"), picks up right where Boyle's "28 Years Later" left off, with Spike (Alfie Williams) being forced to be a part of a gang led by the sadistic Sir Lord Jimmy (Jack O'Connell). Through the movie, we follow their murderous ways, which eventually lead them to the bone sanctuary of Ralph Fiennes' character, Dr. Ian Kelson, who was introduced in "28 Years Later.""
"Dr. Kelson acts like he's the devil in front of Spike and the other Jimmy disciples, but that all ends when Kelson realizes Spike is among them (they became friends in the last movie). This leads to a bloodbath during which Kelson dies, Jimmy is strung up on a backward cross (later to be food for the Alpha zombie Samson), and Spike escapes with the only member of the Jimmy gang who cared about him, Kelly (Erin Kellyman)."
"That's when Murphy's Jim character appears, who hasn't been seen in the franchise since the first movie, 2002's "28 Days Later." Since then, he's been living in an unsuspecting farmhouse, seemingly blocked off from the infected. We see him quizzing his daughter for a history exam she's to have, which he will be giving her. Suddenly, they hear the infected in the distance. They race outside and see a group of zombies chasing Spike and Kelly."
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple continues the post-apocalyptic timeline, centering on Spike's forced recruitment into Sir Lord Jimmy's violent gang and their brutal actions. The gang's atrocities lead them to Dr. Ian Kelson's bone sanctuary, where Kelson initially intimidates them before recognizing Spike, triggering a massacre that kills Kelson and leaves Jimmy impaled and later fed to the Alpha zombie Samson. Spike escapes with Kelly. Cillian Murphy's Jim reappears, living quietly on a farmhouse with his daughter. Hearing the approaching infected, Jim and his daughter intervene to help Spike and Kelly, reentering the conflict.
