In the 2013 film World War Z, what is Brad Pitt’s character called?

In the 2013 film World War Z, Brad Pitt’s character is called Gerry Lane.

Gerry Lane is a former United Nations investigator who is drawn back into international service when a rapidly spreading zombie outbreak threatens global society. He travels through several countries while searching for a way to slow or stop the infection.

The film was directed by Marc Forster and adapted from Max Brooks’s 2006 novel World War Z. The movie and the book share the title and a worldwide outbreak premise, but their storytelling structures differ substantially. The novel is presented as a collection of interviews after the conflict, while the film follows Gerry during the crisis itself.

Brad Pitt also served as one of the film’s producers. World War Z became one of the highest-grossing zombie films, though its large-scale action approach differs from the more intimate survival-horror style associated with earlier zombie cinema.
