The Postman (1997)
Drama | Adventure | Action | Sci-Fi

Tagline: It is 2013. War has crippled the Earth. Technology has been erased. Our only hope is an unlikely hero.

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.

Dances with Wolves double Academy Award winner director Kevin Costner directs and plays a wayfarer in a world where might makes right — but destined to lead an heroic rebellion where right makes right. Sweeping battle scenes, breathtaking wilderness vistas and touching moments of personal triumph combine to ensure The Postman delivers.

Storyline: In the year 2013 civilization has all but destroyed itself. After a war that decimated the government and most of the population of the United States (possibly the world) people struggle to survive against starvation and rogue groups of armed men. One such group is called the Holnists. This group is bigger than any other and their leader, General Bethlehem, has delusions of ruling the country. A drifter is captured by the group and forced to join. He escapes at the first chance and happens on a mail jeep with a skeleton in it. The skeleton is wearing a postal uniform and the drifter takes it to keep him warm. He also finds a mailbag and starts conning people with old letters. The hope he sees in the people he delivers to changes his plans and he decides that he must help bring the Holnists down. Written by
