"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 maruading gangs of cannibals. The plot
follows an unnamed father and son on a bleak epic across the
wasteland and features a series of horrifc encounters in a
merciless world starved of life and hope. This edition includes a
full list of cast and crew credits.
