Siege of the Dead is a 2010 German horror movie directed by Marvin Kren that follows the journey of two brothers and their ex-girlfriend as they attempt to flee a zombie-infested Vienna. The film stars Michael Fuith, Theo Trebs, and Anka Graczyk. Set in the city of Vienna, the movie begins with a deadly virus outbreak, turning people into flesh-eating zombies. The city is in chaos as a result, and the government is unable to control the growing epidemic. The few survivors must fight their way through the streets in order to remain alive. Two brothers, Michael and Georg, and their ex-girlfriend, Emilia, decide to flee the city in search of safety and a cure.

Their journey takes them through a series of terrifying events and close encounters with the undead. Along the way, they encounter other survivors who have formed their own small groups, attempting to survive the apocalypse. With limited resources and a growing number of zombies, the groups must come together in order to stay alive.

As the trio continues on their journey, they discover that the virus is spreading rapidly and is not limited to just Austria. This leads them to a government building where they meet Dr. Caspar Konig, a scientist who has been studying the virus. He informs them that a cure exists, but it is difficult to manufacture in large quantities. The government has locked down the production of this cure, and the only way to get it is to infiltrate a secret laboratory where it is being produced.

With this information, Michael, Georg, and Emilia realize that they have a mission to accomplish, and it is not just about their own survival. They must infiltrate the government laboratory and retrieve the cure and then escape the city before it is too late. This sets the stage for a final, thrilling showdown between the survivors and the thousands of zombies that roam the streets.
