The Postman
1997, English. Directed by Kevin Costner.
The year is 2013. One man walked in off the horizon and hope came with him.
In 2013, there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the United States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare, and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope.
