The Book of Eli

The Book of Eli was released in 2010, this movie is a post apocalyptic story starring Denzel Washington as Eli. The movie begins as Eli is in the ashy remains of a forest and a hairless cat is standing 50-60 yards away from him, he releases a large arrow from a bow he made with his feet. This shows how post apocalyptic the story line is. Eli has been walking for 32 years because he was told by God to take the Bible to the west and he would be protected on this journey. All of this started when the wars burned a whole in the sky and the sun came down and burned up all the earth. Eli is well on his way when he gets to a town that is ran by a man named Carnagie. Carnagie pays men to go out and kill innocent people in an attempt to find a Bible so that he can expand his township and gain power. Eli gets into a confrontation at Carnagie's pub and this is when Carnagie figures out Eli is a literate man from the before the time and forces Eli to stay one night and consider an offer to work for him.

Carnagie discovers the very book he is looking for is right under his nose and tries to stop Eli but Eli is protected by God. Eli is on his way again when he is joined by Solara, Carnagies step daughter, she wants to get away from the town. They make to a strange house where Eli gives the book away to save Solara and is then shot. In a series of events Solara steal a vehicle and and takes Eli West to Alcatraz.

At Alcatraz there was a society of scholars trying to restore everything that makes up history. Eli tells them his has a Bible to give them and when the man asked to see it Eli has him get a paper and right it out word for word. It is then revealed that Eli is blind from the big flash that came from the war. When Carngaie opens the Bible he finds out it is written in brail and his world is destroyed and his whole empire crashes because he lost too many men getting the book he cant read.

This movie is an awesome story line filled with adventure mystery and action. I recommend this movie to everyone but there is some blood and fighting scenes with  killing.
