The Book of Eli

In the not too distant future, 30 years after the end of the last war. Eli (Denzel Washington) is a lonely man who travels across devastated North America. He only wants peace, but when he is challenged he does not escape the fight. Its main objective is to protect the hope of humanity, which it has kept with it for 30 years, and for that it does whatever it takes to survive. The only one who understands his intent is Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the self-proclaimed despot of a city full of thieves. At the same time Solara (Mila Kunis), the daughter of Carnegie's partner (Jennifer Beals), is fascinated with Eli by the possibility that he will show her what is beyond the realms she knows. But Carnegie is willing to stop his crusade, to recover Solara and also to get the valuable object that Eli protects.
