In a world that is a shell of its former glory, The Man (Viggo Mortensen) and The Boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) are on the move with all their precious possessions—whatever food and clothing they can uncover, utensils and tools, plastic bags, tarps, blankets and anything else to keep warm in the freezing outdoors.
As The Man and The Boy travel along on foot, following the once-magnificent American highway system west toward the ocean, they hide in the woods and in old, abandoned structures, any shelter they can improvise that keeps them safe from the elements and the wandering bands who would think nothing of taking everything from them. They come across all sorts of desperate people. There is a road gang, a bunch of tough men who have somehow managed to fuel their truck. There are scavengers and hunters of anything that moves. And there are all manner of thieves.
