The Road
2009
In the near future, the world has been virtually destroyed. From the ash-covered, post-apocalyptic remains of Appalachia, the Father (Viggo Mortensen) and Son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) take to the road in search of a better life. The Father's health is failing, lending urgency to a journey impeded by nomadic bands of cannibalistic humans. Charlize Theron co-stars in this adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

Book, Drama, Thriller
A dreary post-apocalyptic story about a man and his son. Very monotone, lacking hope and excitement - one long depressing experience. Regardless of what I'd heard, this is nothing like The Book of Eli. That movie is far superior.
