In "The Road," a father (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) fight to survive after an unspecified apocalyptic event, traveling toward the warmer coast with the hope of possible food, safety, and the company of fellow survivors. Along their journey, with scarce shelter and resources available, they encounter many horrors and hardships and must endure the constant fear of roaming cannibals and other desperate gangs. Based on the book by Cormac McCarthy. (Gary Reber)
