*The Road* (2009), directed by John Hillcoat and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Cormac McCarthy, is a post-apocalyptic drama that follows the harrowing journey of a father and his young son as they traverse a desolate and dangerous landscape.
The film is set in a bleak, post-apocalyptic world where an unspecified catastrophe has led to the collapse of civilization.
The environment is barren and cold, with ash covering the landscape and most of the plant and animal life having died out. The sun is perpetually obscured by clouds, and the world is filled with a sense of despair and hopelessness.
