The Road
Directed by John HillcoatA 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.

The Road Ratings & Reviews
- kellysorensen423November 6, 2025Just brilliant 🙂
- trend21April 13, 2025Very good. Post-apocalyptic vision of the world. Fight for survival and humanity.
- Walter Jospeh KovacsNovember 1, 2025Alternating between bleak and harrowing with sparsely punctuated moments of levity. Wonderful portrayals and characters that you attach to - really feel their suffering.
- harolindOctober 15, 2025🤔 part 2??
- Magnus CarlbaumJuly 7, 2025The Road is a gut punch wrapped in barbed wire. Unforgiving. Unflinching. Make no mistake - this is one of the most depressing movies you will ever see. But does that make it bad? No. In fact, it is a great movie. It is about a flickering and dying hope. A beautiful tale about a man and his son under the most dire circumstances imaginable. And you have to ask yourself: How far would You walk the road?
- atkins902September 3, 2025The apocalyptic setting makes this a very grueling watch, but it's emotionally powerful and rewarding for having gone on the journey... especially if you are a father or mother. Highly recommend reading the book first and then watching the movie to see what 2 hours they decided to highlight. Overall a great job on a nearly impossible task of trying to show and not tell when 80% of the book itself is narration about motives and feelings.
- JDar1984October 3, 2025Great dystopian apocalypse film, vigo mortensen delivers a strong performance as always.
- GhasAugust 16, 2025Beautiful and tragic
- GrimeFiVideoMay 26, 2025Pretty good slow-burn film.
