About
You can watch The Road (2009) on Hoopla with a participating library card, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones and, when the snow falls, it is gray. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there.
An unrelenting sense of ash and gray frost chokes every frame of this bleak, silent wasteland. Amidst the starvation and scavenging, the quiet bond between a father and son provides the only flicker of warmth in a dying world.
