Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron and Kodi Smit-McPhee star in this post-apocalyptic dramatic thriller , featuring a father and his son walking together toward the sea, across the horrifically desolate landscape of a burned America. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food, and most importantly, each other.
