The Book of Eli
2010 · TMDB 6.8
Directed by Allen Hughes, Albert Hughes
A post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind.
Why it matters
Eli walks west across a post-apocalyptic America, carrying a Bible he believes will restore humanity. Denzel Washington's performance is a study in quiet conviction, and the film's twist reframes the entire journey.
