That's how the world ends. John Hillcoat ("Lawless" with Tom Hardy) adapts Cormac McCarthy's classic with Vigo Mortensen and Cody Schmidt-McPhee in a fight for survival against the backdrop of the end of civilization.

Synopsis

America is a bleak, grey shadow of itself after a disaster. A man and his young son wander this post-apocalyptic world, trying to keep the dream of civilization alive. They travel to the sea, survive as best they can with whatever they can concoct, and try to avoid roving bands of wild men who will turn them into slaves, or worse.
