Cockneys vs Zombies is a British action comedy set in London's East End, where two brothers with a habit of petty crime plan a bank robbery to fund the rescue of their grandfather's retirement home from developers. Their scheme falls apart when a long-buried crypt is disturbed, unleashing a virus that turns the local population into flesh-eating undead. With the police otherwise occupied, the brothers and their crew have to fight their way to the care home, where the residents are defending themselves against the zombie horde.
