In theaters today, Denzel Washington treks cross country on foot through the post-apocalyptic American wasteland in The Book of Eli!

The Hughes Brothers, who brought us classics like Dead Presidents and From Hell, return to the big screen with this tale of faith and corruption in the desert of the future.

Denzel Washington stars as Eli, a lone man fighting his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. His journey brings him to Carnegie (Gary Oldman), a self-righteous man with an entire town under his thumb, including his daughter Solara (Mila Kunis), who joins Eli on his journey to bring order to the wasteland.
