The Crazies is the 2010 remake of the 1973 George A. Romero film of the same name. The plot of the remake once again, revolves around a small town that is accidentally infected with a biological weapon with the code-name "Trixie", which either kills its victims or turns them into rage-induced infected individuals (similar to the Rage-infected victims from the film 28 Days Later), and the efforts of both the surviving townsfolk attempting to survive and stay alive, and the efforts of the United States military to isolate the threat and eliminate it. However, in this film, the location of the small town has been changed from Evans City, Pennsylvania, to the fictional town of Ogden Marsh, Iowa, and the general focus of the plot revolving more around the surviving townsfolk and not so much on the military's quarantine efforts. Nevertheless, the film received much positive reception and was a better financial success compared to its predecessor. The film's cast includes Timothy Olyphant, Danielle Panabaker, and Radha Mitchell.
The following weapons were used in the film The Crazies:
Sheriff Dutten (Timothy Olyphant) carries a Glock 19 as his sidearm. He is seen using it against Rory Hamill in the film's opening and later on when he is searching the town's morgue.
Deputy Russell Clank (Joe Anderson) finds a Glock 26 in the crashed SUV. He takes it for himself and threatens David and Judy with it, but is later disarmed of it by David.
Sheriff Dutten (Timothy Olyphant) retrieves a Smith & Wesson Model 27 with a 3.5" barrel from a lockbox in his desk after the military confiscates his Glock and other weapons at the station. He loads it with .38 Special cartridges as seen on the headstamp. The backstory of the weapon reveals that David's father was the former sheriff of the town, and the Smith & Wesson Model 27 was his duty revolver.
When the three hunters discover the dead plane pilot in the swamp one of them carries an Ithaca 37.
