The Book of Eli

Thirty years after a nuclear apocalypse, Eli travels on foot toward the west coast of the former United States. Along the way, he demonstrates uncanny survival and fighting skills, hunting wildlife and swiftly defeating a group of desert bandits who try to ambush him. Searching for water, he arrives in a ramshackle town rebuilt and ruled by a warlord named Carnegie. Carnegie dreams of building more towns and of controlling the people through the power of a certain book. Henchmen scour the desolate landscape daily in search of it, but to no avail. Carnegie also has control of a hidden water supply which he rations to the townspeople.
