Overview - A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water.

**The Road paints a grim and genuine picture of the dangers and greed of a world surviving the collapse of society and hope.** The Road is a realistic and super depressing depiction of a post-apocalyptic world.
