There is power in the word, or at least Carnegie (Gary Oldman) believes so. He remembers a time, before the war, when words from The Book could inspire people to give up their last dime. Now he is living in a world where people will kill each other for a glass of water. And only the oldest of them remember what it was like when men of great words could inspire us to more. Carnegie wants to inspire, Carnegie wants to rule, but desire is not enough, he needs the words. There will come a time when ruling with a fist will no longer be enough, so he searches, he has his minions search, somewhere, out there, a Bible must have survived

Eli is in possession of a Bible. After the last war, people put the blame on religion and every Holy Book was burned. But not this one. This one is safe. And for thirty years Eli has been protecting it. He doesn’t know where he is going. West is all he knows. But he knows how to fight and he knows how to pray. But mostly he has faith, and the desire to read every day. This classic tale of good vs. evil, set in a post-apocalyptic world has Denzel Washington roaming throughout the wasteland on a mission from God. Could one little book really make a difference? These men think so.

The Book Of Eli is a very stylish film and has plenty of action for the fan boys. Mila Kunis plays the daughter of Carnegie’s woman (Jennifer Beals) and she follows Eli out of town. As a post-war baby, she doesn’t know how to read, so she is curious about the book. She is attracted to the poetry and the beauty of its words, but her beauty causes others to follow her. Redridge, (Ray Stevenson) Carnegie’s head man promises to get the book in exchange for the girl. This is truly the road trip from hell. Only heaven knows how it will end.
