synopsis

In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. There is no civilization here, no law.

A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake.

Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive--and continue.
