Full Plot Details

In a violent post-apocalyptic society, a drifter, Eli (Denzel Washington), has been wandering westward across North America for the last thirty years. He finds solace in a unique book which he carries on his person and guards closely, while surviving by hunting small animals and seeking goods in destroyed houses and vehicles to trade in villages for water and supplies. When he reaches a village ruled by the powerful mobster, Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the man views Eli's impressive fighting skills and offers Eli a place within his gang. Carnegie presses his blind lover Claudia (Jennifer Beals) to send her daughter, Solara (Mila Kunis), to at least convince Eli to spend the night by sleeping with him. However, Eli proves to be the better man when he gently declines her advances. The girl sees Eli's book, and when Carnegie finds out he beats her mother until she reveals what she saw. Carnegie sends his gang into the wasteland to take the book from Eli, but the man proves to be a formidable foe as he makes it more than clear that if they want the book, they must first take his life.

Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Nick PinkertonThe Book of Eli's plastic parable isn't much more advanced than "Insane Clown Posse" theology.
Film.com - 9/10 by Laremy LegelThe Hughes brothers' film feels more vibrant than the bleak Road, which was launched at us in November. Here the brothers show us the horror but somehow the staid and calm Denzel feels more approachable than the distraught and scrambling Viggo.
The Atlantic - 9/10 by Ed KochThis picture is one big waste of time, including that of the actors and those in the audience who pay to see it.
The Movie Minute - 9/10 by Joanna LangfieldReady or not: here it comes. The first kick ass apocalyptic action flick, designed for both the comic book and True Believer set. Well, you can't say this decade in movies hasn't started out with a bang!
Richard Roeper.com - 9/10 by Richard RoeperBold and innovative, spiritually challenging--and some heads get chopped off.
FilmsInReview.com - 9/10 by Victoria AlexanderPowerful and thought-provoking. A forecast for our time.
EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderIt's shot with style, and the story has enough thrills and dark humor to justify one two-hour trip into the desolate future.
Eclipse Magazine - 9/10 by Michelle AlexandriaRejoice, Hollywood has made a movie that the Religious Right can like - if you take away the blood and gore. It's nice to know my iPod will work in a post apocalyptic world.
FromTheBalcony - 9/10 by Bill ClarkWater and Chap Stick may be difficult to come by in the post-apocalyptic world of The Book of Eli, but ammunition certainly is not.
BET.com - 9/10 by Clay CaneI hope the Hughes Brothers abandon these wannabe Hollywood glamor flicks and go back to gritty, raw dramas -- like 'Dead Presidents' and 'Menace II Society' -- that made their work so fresh and groundbreaking.
