The film opens twenty-eight years after the Rage Virus first ravaged the United Kingdom. A compact survivor community has established itself on the tidal island of Lindisfarne; within that enclave a teenage boy named Spike lives with his father Jamie and his ailing mother Isla. Early in the story Spike accompanies Jamie on a ritualized hunt intended to thin local packs of Infected. The two men travel along the rocky causeway at dusk and split across the marshes to flush a small group of Infected into the open. During the pursuit an Alpha -- an Infected whose mutations have rendered it larger, more cunning and significantly more violent than ordinary infected -- attacks. Jamie and Spike sprint away from the creature across wet sand and exposed rock. The Alpha closes on them with rapid, animal fury, forcing Jamie to draw and use a hunting rifle to drive it off; the pair escape but are shaken. After they return to the settlement Spike discovers his father in an intimate encounter with another resident of Lindisfarne. Spike reacts with visible betrayal and contempt; the scene fractures the bond between father and son and leaves Spike emotionally estranged from Jamie.

Over the next days Spike grows increasingly unsettled by life in the community and by the way the survivors speak of a man named Dr. Ian Kelson. Rumors cast Kelson as a mysterious figure living on the mainland, feared by many but also credited with strange accomplishments. Isla, whose health has been failing for months, persuades Spike to take her off the island and seek Kelson's help. Despite the risk of exposure on the causeway, Spike leads his mother across the channel at low tide, heading toward the eroded coastal ruins on the mainland where Kelson is said to live.

On the mainland the pair encounter Erik, a lone NATO soldier whose unit was recently wiped out by an Alpha. Erik appears battle-hardened and heavily armed; he intervenes when a loose pack of ordinary Infected converges on Spike and Isla. He fires controlled bursts from a rifle and drives the attackers away, protecting the two as they stumble through damp undergrowth and battered buildings. After a tense moment when green-gray shapes lurch from a collapsed shopfront, Erik escorts them toward the deeper ruins and explains that some Infected have evolved into Alphas -- named specimens that display higher coordination and predatory intelligence.

While they travel the group encounters a pregnant Infected woman perched inside a derelict flat. The woman, clearly in labor despite her infected state, gives birth in a cramped stairwell. The newborn emerges apparently uninfected and wails, drawing frantic attention. Erik acts on the scene with brutal expediency: believing the infant a threat or that the mother's condition renders the situation uncontrollable, he kills the mother in the stairwell. After he strikes the fatal blow he nearly kills the newborn as well, raising his weapon to eliminate what he perceives as another potential danger. Before he can pull the trigger, an Alpha named Samson intervenes; the creature bursts through the stairwell's crumbling wall with explosive force. Samson seizes Erik and, with feral violence, rips Erik's head from his body, killing the soldier instantly. The newborn wails uninterrupted, and the three survivors are left staring at the dismembered corpse.

A short time later Dr. Ian Kelson arrives at the scene. He is calm and exacting; he approaches Samson with a tranquillizer rifle and fires a calculated shot. The sedative slows Samson and, after a struggle across debris-strewn floors, Kelson secures the Alpha with specialized restraints. Kelson has clearly studied Samson and explains, without modulation, that he has named the creature and that he has found a method to keep it subdued. He straps Samson into a reinforced cage and moves the Alpha with mechanical rigging. Kelson then offers to take Spike and Isla with him to his residence, a place he calls the "Bone Temple."

Kelson's Bone Temple is a converted industrial ruin that Kelson has repurposed as a mausoleum and laboratory. He has constructed a shrine of human skeletal remains: skulls mounted on poles, vertebrae woven into structures and a vertical tower of skulls rising in the center of a vaulted space. Kelson's work is meticulous; he catalogs bones and arranges their placement with ritual precision, treating the remains as components of a memorial he alone curates. He examines Isla with professional detachment: he palpates her abdomen, listens to her chest and then conducts a field radiograph with portable equipment. After running simple diagnostic tests Kelson states the diagnosis aloud -- Isla has terminal cancer. He explains the malignancy is advanced and that conventional treatment is not possible in the current world.

Isla hears Kelson's prognosis without outward panic. She accepts the diagnosis and asks Spike to remain at her side. Spike and his mother spend their final hours inside the Bone Temple's inner chamber beneath the hooded lamp. Spike holds Isla's hand; she names the newborn child that he has rescued and asks that he care for the baby if possible. She tells Spike she does not want aggressive, painful interventions and asks Kelson to end her suffering when the time comes. Kelson prepares a sterile injection and talks Spike through the procedure with clinical clarity. When Isla's pain spikes and breathing becomes shallow, Kelson delivers a lethal dose of medication intravenously. Isla's fingers unclench and her eyes close. Spike sobs while Kelson wraps her body and prepares a skull that he has carefully cleaned and polished from the remains on the temple. Kelson gives Isla's skull to Spike and instructs him to place it at the top of his skull tower if he visits again; Spike accepts the skull with trembling hands.

Kelson's methods around Sampson demonstrate his broader approach to the world: he captures, names and contains that which others fear. He sedates Samson and demonstrates the Alpha's strength even while restrained, showing Spike how the creature lashes and how the scaffold holds it in place. Kelson tells Spike that he studies death to keep its consequences ordered. He offers Spike guidance and shelter for a time, and Spike and the newborn -- whom he names Isla in honor of his mother -- stay with Kelson briefly before Spike decides to return to Lindisfarne.

Spike transports the baby Isla back across the causeway to Lindisfarne and presents the child to the community. He places Isla's mother's skull, wrapped as Kelson instructed, into a communal place of remembrance for a brief moment, then continues to travel on foot away from the settlement. Spike walks along new routes, sleeping in abandoned structures and hunting for small game. His travels take him through ruined villages and desolated highways where he sees other survivors, some hostile, some indifferent.

During this circuit Spike falls in with a man named Jimmy. Jimmy survived the initial outbreak decades earlier and has organized a group of followers around his personality. He refers to himself as a leader and commands loyalty through charisma and occasionally through force. Jimmy's followers congregate in a repurposed factory and patrol the roads wearing mismatched armor fashioned from scavenged body armor and farming tools. They move in small platoons and carry crude banners marking their allegiance. Jimmy's cadre intercept Spike when he is isolated on a rural road at dusk. A band of Infected approaches; Jimmy's followers fight with improvised weapons and firearms to drive the attackers off. Jimmy's group rescues Spike from the incoming Infected, pulling him into their compound and administering basic care for the baby Isla.

Afterward, Jimmy speaks with Spike and recounts his own survival story: how he maintained control through order, promises of safety and by enforcing strict rules among his people. He demonstrates his influence by assigning roles to returning fighters and by lecturing his followers on the dangers of outside threats. Jimmy offers Spike a place among them and extends an invitation to join his legion, promising security, purpose and belonging. Spike listens, holding the infant in his arms, and considers Jimmy's offer while the group looks on.

Elsewhere in the film other confrontations occur between the survivors and the evolved Infected. During the initial hunting scene Jamie's relationship fractures when word spreads of the affair and when Spike's absence from the settlement is used by competing elders to challenge Jamie's authority. The film shows skirmishes at Lindisfarne's perimeter when scavengers attempt to seize supplies; residents repel the attacks with barricades and rifle fire. On the mainland Kelson faces threats from roaming packs and from tribes who resent his skull shrine; he defends Samson's enclosure with remote-triggered barriers and a diesel-powered generator for the sedation rig. Kelson's sedation methods are repeatedly tested when an outsider attempts to taunt Samson and a scuffle breaks cages loose, but Kelson reasserts control by deploying both sedative dispersal and manual restraints.

All deaths in the film are rendered with specific actions. Erik dies when Samson seizes him and tears his head from his shoulders; the film depicts Samson's movement slamming Erik against fractured masonry and then ripping his head away with a sudden, bone-cracking motion. Isla dies when Kelson administers a programmed lethal injection; the camera follows the syringe entering her arm and then her body slackening as she exhales once more. The pregnant Infected woman dies when Erik strikes and kills her during the newborn's delivery; the film does not show a martyring ritual but does show Erik's decisive, violent act to terminate the mother's life. Other unnamed Infected die in the course of conflicts: Jamie and other Lindisfarne hunters fire rifles to repel an Alpha during the opening hunt, and Jimmy's followers kill several Infected with shotguns and bladed clubs when they save Spike on the road.

Major confrontations are described concretely as sequences. The initial hunt throws father and son into a direct sprint from an Alpha; they separate and jam into marsh channels, the Alpha bounding over broken causeway and sinking boots. Erik's rescue of Spike and Isla involves a run from a wedge of Infected through a collapsed arcade; Erik covers their retreats with calculated bursts from a long rifle through shivery window glass. The birth and the ensuing violent intervention occur in a stairwell where Erik kills the mother and then is himself torn apart by Samson. Kelson's capture of Samson plays out as a mechanical ballet in the Bone Temple: pulleys and sedative darts, followed by chained cuffs and a heaving winch that drags the Alpha into a reinforced bay. Jimmy's rescue of Spike is an ambush on a country lane, Jimmy's men opening fire from behind hedgerows and beating back Infected with torches and sledgehammers.

Character motivations are presented as observable drives within scenes. Spike is motivated by loyalty to his mother and a need to escape the sense of betrayal after seeing his father's infidelity; he therefore agrees to seek Kelson for help. Jamie is motivated by the competing pressures of leadership duties and personal desires, which leads to a rift with Spike. Isla seeks dignity and relief from suffering; she chooses to confront Kelson because she wants a controlled end rather than prolonged pain. Erik is motivated by survival instincts and a hardened soldier's reflex to neutralize perceived threats immediately, which leads him to kill the infected mother and nearly kill the newborn. Kelson is driven by intellect and the compulsion to classify and control death; he builds the Bone Temple as a site where death can be cataloged and contained. Jimmy is motivated by the drive to build authority in a fractured world; he recruits and consolidates power through rescue, protection and the imposition of order.

The story's principal twist arises in the Bone Temple when Kelson reveals not only his ability to sedate an Alpha but also his willingness to be the arbiter of death for those he hosts. Kelson's euthanasia of Isla, delivered with an unemotional efficiency, reframes him from rumor into a man prepared to make ethically fraught choices in a lawless landscape. The violent reversal at the stairwell, where Erik kills a mother and is in turn decapitated by Samson, reveals the fragile unpredictability of violence in this new era and establishes Samson as a force Kelson can both fear and master.

In the final scenes Spike completes the journey back to Lindisfarne with the infant Isla secured against his chest. He hands the child over to a caretaker in the settlement, leaving the baby in a sheltered house among the island's inhabitants. Spike then resumes his solitary wandering. While on the road he is intercepted by Jimmy's patrol. In a short, sharp encounter Infected surge toward Spike; Jimmy's men drive them back with improvised tactics and pull Spike into their encampment. That scene ends with Jimmy personally addressing Spike, laying out his offer: the legion will provide protection, food and a role within a structured community bound by Jimmy's leadership. He invites Spike to join.

The film ends with Spike holding the newborn Isla and considering Jimmy's offer in the flickering light of the compound's bonfires. Around them Jimmy's followers move in purposeful formation while Lindisfarne recedes behind the tidal causeway and the Bone Temple's skull tower stands distant and immovable. Spike looks between the camp, the child and his late mother's skull in his bag; he considers Kelson's gift and Jimmy's promise. The final shot leaves Spike at the threshold of joining Jimmy's legion, the baby asleep against his chest, as he steps forward toward the group -- the invitation accepted in the film's concluding frame.

The ending of 28 Years Later Part 2: The Bone Temple (2026) concludes with a tense confrontation inside the Bone Temple, where the main characters face off against a new, evolved threat linked to the Rage virus. The survivors manage to escape the temple, but not without significant losses, leaving their fates uncertain as the film closes on a somber, unresolved note.

Expanding on the ending scene by scene:

The final act opens deep within the Bone Temple, a dark, cavernous structure filled with ancient bones and eerie relics, setting a foreboding atmosphere. The main group of survivors--led by Jaime, Dr. Kelson, and the young Spike--navigate the temple's labyrinthine corridors, their flashlights casting long shadows on the walls. Tension mounts as they realize they are being stalked by a new breed of infected, more cunning and ferocious than any they have encountered before.

As they reach the central chamber, the group encounters Jimmy, a character introduced earlier who has become a dominant figure in this sequel. Jimmy confronts Jim, the original protagonist from the first film, who returns in this installment, setting up a dramatic showdown. The two Jimmys--one original, one evolved--engage in a brutal fight, symbolizing the clash between past and present survivors of the Rage outbreak.

During the fight, Spike is caught in the middle, forced to choose sides, highlighting the personal conflicts and loyalties that have developed throughout the story. Jaime and Dr. Kelson attempt to intervene, but the chaos escalates, and the temple begins to collapse due to structural damage caused by the struggle and the infected's rampage.

In the ensuing chaos, several characters are lost: Jaime sacrifices himself to hold off the infected, allowing the others to escape. Dr. Kelson is severely wounded but manages to flee with Spike and Jim. The film ends with the survivors emerging from the temple ruins into the bleak daylight, battered and uncertain about their future, as the threat of the Rage virus still looms large.

The ending leaves the fates of Jim, Spike, and Dr. Kelson ambiguous but hopeful, emphasizing survival amid ongoing danger. Jaime's death marks a poignant moment of sacrifice, underscoring the human cost of the conflict. The film closes on a note of unresolved tension, setting the stage for potential continuation in the trilogy.

This detailed sequence highlights the film's focus on the evolving nature of the Rage virus, the complex relationships between characters, and the harsh realities of survival in a post-apocalyptic world.

Yes, several characters die in the movie "28 Years Later Part 2: The Bone Temple" (2026), with their deaths tied closely to the post-apocalyptic and infected-ridden setting.

Key character deaths and their circumstances include:

• Isla (Spike's mother): Isla suffers from a mysterious illness affecting her cognitive functions. Near the end of the preceding film 28 Years Later (2025), Dr. Ian Kelson euthanizes her consensually after diagnosing her with cancer, to end her suffering. This event is part of the narrative leading into The Bone Temple.

• Erik (Swedish soldier): In the course of the story, Spike, Isla, and Erik encounter a pregnant infected woman. Isla helps the infected woman give birth, but Erik, disturbed by the newborn infected child, threatens to kill the baby, Spike, and Isla if they do not comply. The father of the newborn infected child arrives, implying a violent confrontation, and Erik dies during this conflict.

• Jimmy (cult leader): While the detailed circumstances of Jimmy's death are not fully revealed in The Bone Temple itself, the character Jimmy Crystal, played by Jack O'Connell, is a cult leader and a survivor of the outbreak. The film ends with a tonal shift showing Jimmy leading a parkour ninja gang fighting infected, setting up his major role in the sequel. There is no explicit death of Jimmy in this film; rather, he is a significant figure moving forward.

• Other cult members and infected: The film features violent encounters with infected and cult factions, resulting in multiple deaths, but specific named characters' deaths beyond those above are not detailed in available sources.

In summary, Isla dies by euthanasia early on, Erik dies in a violent confrontation involving the infected newborn, and Jimmy survives to play a major role in the sequel. The film's narrative includes other deaths typical of the infected apocalypse setting, but these are the main character deaths with described circumstances.

The movie "28 Years Later Part 2: The Bone Temple" (2026) does not have a post-credits scene. The filmmakers chose to include all important story setups and sequel teases within the main narrative before the credits roll, continuing the franchise tradition of skipping post-credit scenes seen in previous films like "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later". Therefore, after the final scene and the start of the credits, there is no additional footage or scene to watch.

Spike, a 12-year-old boy, leaves the safety of the island where his family lives to find a cure for his sick mother, Isla, on the UK mainland. His journey exposes him to new dangers, including a violent cult led by Sir Jimmy Crystal, and challenges his previous understanding of community and survival in the post-apocalyptic world.

Sir Jimmy Crystal is a cult leader with long blond hair, dressed similarly to the infamous British TV presenter Jimmy Savile. He leads a violent cult that takes pride in killing the infected and enforces brutal control over followers and enemies alike. His cult operates from a place called the Bone Temple, and he views himself as a messianic figure, symbolized by wearing an upside-down crucifix.

Isla, Spike's mother, is diagnosed with metastatic brain cancer by Doctor Kelson. In a poignant moment, she allows Kelson to euthanize her, which deeply affects Spike and motivates his subsequent actions on the mainland.

The cult is shown to be violent and ruthless toward those who do not adhere to their beliefs. For example, they leave a traitor infected person hanging upside down in a barn as prey for the infected, demonstrating their brutal methods of punishment and control. This violent and lawless behavior contrasts with Spike's previous experience of community and caring.

Jamie is a scavenger and widower searching for his son Spike on the mainland. Their relationship is strained and complicated by Spike's exposure to the cult and the harsh realities of the post-apocalyptic world. There is a suggestion that when Jamie finds Spike, he may encounter a changed and unrecognizable son due to Spike's experiences with the cult.
