This film is based on Cormac McCarthy’s best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. It follows an unnamed father and his young son as they make their way toward the coast for possible food, shelter and safety after an unspecified cataclysmic event. With scarce shelter and resources available to them, they have to avoid the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road along the way.

This two-minute plus sneak peek offers a more depressing tone of the movie. A narration is provided by leading man Viggo Mortensen, while glimpses of him and his on-screen son, Kodi Smit-McPhee, struggling to survive flash.

“The Road” Trailer#2

After delaying the film for more than a year, The Road is scheduled to hit theaters on November 25.

The film starring Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall and Garret Dillahunt is the epic post-apocalyptic tale of a journey taken by a father (Mortensen) and his young son (newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee) across a barren landscape that was blasted by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and most life on earth.

The Road opens to US theaters on November 25th.

The Road stars Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee with notable names in supporting performances given by Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce and Charlize Theron.

Synopsis: The world is in ruins after an apocalyptic event that is never described. 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. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping cart of scavenged food – and each other.
