An American film set in the apocalypse, but about faith. The whole film is in old colors. The war burns holes in the sky, and the surviving people have lost their faith and don't know how to rebuild their homes. Barren, dead wood, dark sky, dry land, Eli is a lonely traveler, waiting for a Genesis Bible, but he is killed because of the only book in the world that can rebuild his homeland, but no matter how hard it is , Faith and Faith are always the forces that underpin life. The book was snatched away, but with that piety and perseverance, Avery finally achieved the reconstruction of the world. This story speaks to the power of faith and religion at all times.

Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.
Solara: Yeah.
Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.
Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?
Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him
Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
