It's the hunk vs. the zombies!

Brad Pitt faces a deadly pandemic in World War Z.

The story, based on best-selling novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, by Max Brooks, revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who travels the world in a race against time to stop the zombie outbreak that is toppling armies and governments and threatening all humanity, according to IMDB.com.

Who's that woman smooching with Brad in the movie? Mireille Enos plays Gerry's wife Karen Lane.

Entertainment Tonight is offering up a sneak peek of the first trailer, which will air on the show tonight.

The film, directed by Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace), is set to arrive in theaters June 21.
