Dead Reckoning

Dead Reckoning is a heavily armored transport used by the scavengers in the film Land of the Dead. It was designed by Riley Denbo, but financed by Fiddler's Green tyrannical ruler Paul Kaufman.

Land of the Dead (2005)[]

Dead Reckoning was constructed sometime following the establishment of Fiddler's Green, designed by Riley Denbo and financed by the city's tyrannical leader, Paul Kaufman. The truck served scavenger teams which went outside the city walls, into infected zones to obtain essentials for the city to continue thriving. The truck would serve as a platform for launching fireworks, which were vital for distracting zombies in infested zones. When the device failed one night, the truck was sent into provide support for the scavengers within the zone, with it's onboard miniguns and mounted machine guns. The truck would return to the Green, however it was Riley's second in command, Cholo DeMora, who stole it in order to hold Fiddler's Green up for a $5,000,000 dollar ransom or he would unleash the truck's ordinance on the tower, killing him in the process. Rather than pay the ransom, Kaufman sent Denbo and his colleague Charlie Houk, as well as Slack and several others to reacquire the truck.
