Thirty years after “the flash” tore a hole in the sky, destroying much of life on Earth, a survivor walks alone on a deserted road.

To survive, Eli, played by Denzel Washington, relies on a small, but versatile arsenal of weapons: a customized machete, a pistol, a bow and arrow and a sawed-off shotgun. Washington was trained to perform his own fight sequences in this movie.

The first fight scene is unique because all that is seen is black silhouettes contrasting against the barren background.
