 Tagline: Some will kill to have it. He will kill to protect it.
Eli is a warrior not by choice by necessity. He seeks only peace but if he is challenged, he will cut his attackers down. His hope is for the future and he does what he must to survive and continue. Carnegie is the self-appointed despot of thieves and gunmen that wants Eli's power.
In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth-all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water…or for nothing at all. But they're no match for this traveler.
A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli (Denzel Washington) seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive-and continue.
