In Planet Terror, a scientist releases gas in a small Texas town that turns people into zombies. Cherry Darling and her boyfriend, El Wray, join other survivors to flee the carnage. In Death Proof, Stuntman Mike, a body double, has his car customized against impact to keep him safe when he kills his female dates by wrecking their cars. He, however, faces a challenge when he comes across a Dodge Challenger.

The movie flopped at the box office even after receiving positive press and glowing reviews. It was later re-released as two feature films with fake trailers, but while the total sales recouped the budget, the numbers were still low.
