Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortensen, Guy Pearce, and Robert Duvall star in this story based on the 2006 novel by Cormac McCarthy. THE ROAD is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a man and his son are trying to survive by any means possible. Traveling south to escape a cold, seemingly-endless winter, they encounter gangs of lawless killers. Their only weapon is a pistol with 2 bullets. The father has dreams about his wife, who killed herself before the story begins. On the road to a better place, they encounter cannibals and organized militants, as well as other refugees. At one point they find an intact bomb shelter filled with food and supplies. Rather than remain in this sanctuary, they continue on because they have not yet reached the coast.
