“A bleak post-apocalyptic road film. In a world shattered by economic collapse, survival is defined by isolation, violence and fragile human connections.”
“Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson star in a stark, minimalist neo-western set in a lawless collapsed society.”
Storyline
Ten years after a severe economic collapse in the western world, lawlessness reigns and life is cheap. Eric is a lone drifter, and his car is his only possession. When a gang steals it, Eric comes across the injured Rey, left behind by the car thieves. The pair form an unlikely and uneasy alliance.
