The Road (2006) (edit title/settings)

Rando Calrissian edited the summary of The Road Wednesday, April 21, 2010.

• The Road follows an unnamed father and son journeying together toward the sea for many months across a post-apocalyptic landscape, some years after a great, unexplained cataclysm. It is revealed via flashback that the boy's mother, pregnant at the time of the disaster, committed suicide after the birth of her son because of the ultimate certainty of her and her family's death by starvation or at the hands of the roving bands of cannibalistic survivors. The man carries a revolver with two bullets meant for protection or suicide in a worst case scenario.

  Civilization has been destroyed and it seems that all life except for a dwindling population of human beings is extinct. The sun is obscured by ash and the climate is cold: "hard enough to crack stones." Plants do not grow. As the father and son travel across the landscape, they encounter horrific scenes, including an army of roving cannibals and their catamites and slaves; an infant roasting on a spit; and a basement where cannibals keep their victims and harvest their still-living limbs for food.

  As the journey progresses, the father begins to cough up blood and he knows that he will soon die, but he holds on as long as he can because of his love for his son. Finally, after the two reach the sea and begin traveling along the coast, the man dies. The grieving boy is taken in by a couple who have been observing him and his father and who have young children of their own, but his future -- and that of the earth -- is left uncertain.
