The Road

The Road is a 2006 novel by American writer Cormac McCarthy. It is a post-apocalyptic tale of a journey of a father and his young son over a period of several months, across a landscape blasted by an unspecified cataclysm that has destroyed most of civilization and, in the intervening years, almost all life on Earth.

An unnamed father and his young son journey across a grim post-apocalyptic landscape, some years after a major unexplained cataclysm has destroyed civilization and most life on Earth. The land is filled with ash and devoid of living animals and vegetation. Many of the remaining human survivors have resorted to cannibalism, scavenging the detritus of city and country alike for flesh.

Realizing that they cannot survive the oncoming winter where they are, the father takes the boy south, along empty roads towards the sea, carrying their meager possessions in their knapsacks and in a supermarket cart.

As they are near death from starvation, the man finds an unlooted hidden underground bunker filled with food, new clothes and other supplies. However, it is too exposed, so they only stay a few days.

In the face of these obstacles, the man repeatedly reassures the boy that they are "the good guys" who are "carrying the fire".
One of the scenarios involved survivors turning to cannibalism:"when everything's gone, the only thing left to eat is each other."

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, McCarthy said that the inspiration for the book came during a 2003 visit to El Paso, Texas, with his young son. Imaging what the city might look like 50 to 100 years into the future, he pictured "fires on the hill" and thought about his son.

In this film, I most interested in and pay attention on the was the survival kit; what are the necessary things when the Earth has been destroyed:
Water, Fire, Warm clothes, knapsacks, supermarket cart, knife, gun, bullet and carrying the fire in your heart.

Moreover, the unlooted hidden underground bunker was such a brilliant inspirational point for me, all the things you need for survive for about one month or even more. I captured some screenshot to see how people can use it and where people put it:
