Synopsis

"You think I come from another world, don't you? Filled with all these strange things you've never seen...Well I do, I guess."
Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 2006. Released shortly after his No Country for Old Men was turned into an Oscar-winning film, The Road's cinema version of the novel is directed by John Hillcoat, stars Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron and is an official selection for the 66th Venice Film Festival 2009.
Joe Penhall's adaptation is a faithful, careful crafting of the book for the screen, fully evoking the atmosphere of menace and desperation. The Road is set a few years after an unexplained cataclysmic world disaster has left the earth poisoned, barren and hostile. While ash blocks out the sun and the earth no longer fosters plant or animal life, men either starve or join the marauding gangs of cannibals. The plot follows an unnamed father and son on a bleak epic across the wasteland and features a series of horrific encounters in a merciless world starved of life and hope.
This edition includes a Q&A with the adapting author and full cast and crew credits.
