“本年度最重要的電影，跨越世紀的影響力…”
～全美權威媒體 Esquire Magazine。

在末日降臨前，
你是我冒險求生的唯一理由。



一場突如其來的地球浩劫摧毀了人類文明，世界頓時陷入一片黑暗，數以百萬計的人口遭到無情的洪水與烈焰吞噬，因飢餓與絕望而亡的人更是不計其數…故事的背景就設定在這末日般的混沌景象之中，一位自災厄中倖存的父親（維果莫天森 飾），帶著幼子在荒涼且瀰漫不安煙硝味的道路上展開長途跋涉，前往南方的海岸尋找一線生機，而前方等著他們的，是一條危機重重的漫漫長路。這對相互依偎的父子，在旅途中遇上盜匪襲擊，甚至遭到可怕的食人異類威脅，而他們擁有的卻只是簡陋的防禦武器，與彼此間深厚的父子情誼。



在這一片荒蕪之中，廢棄櫥櫃裡的食物、自動販賣機內氣泡滿溢的可樂，以及父親對妻子的甜美回憶等等，讓他們看見希望的微光，而善良天真、對週遭充滿好奇的孩子，更是支持父親邁步向前的動力。這一段驚悚而震撼的史詩般旅程，將展現人類堅強的求生意志，並揭示律法無存、道德淪喪的浩劫後光景，以及其中人性最美麗與最醜陋的一面，駭人但不脫離現實的場景，將為末日電影類型立下全新的里程碑！



今年最受全球影迷關注與討論的話題鉅作《末路浩劫》The Road，改編自奧斯卡最佳影片《險路勿近》No Country for Old Men原著作者戈馬克麥卡錫Cormac McCarthy，於2007年贏得普立茲文學獎的暢銷冠軍同名小說，這部以世界末日為背景、深入刻畫人性的殿堂級文學大作，贏得來自各界的至高評價，除了同時獲得紐約時報、華盛頓郵報、洛杉磯時報與時代雜誌等重要媒體評選為年度好書，更被譽為「即將影響未來一百年」的不朽著作！由主演奇幻冒險經典鉅作《魔戒三部曲》The Lord of the Rings中人皇亞拉岡一角爆紅，並在前年以幫派傑作《黑幕謎情》Eastern Promises獲奧斯卡影帝提名的維果莫天森Viggo Mortensen，領軍好萊塢頂尖卡司聯合主演。



《末路浩劫》除獲選為威尼斯影展正式競賽片，在世界各大權威影評與傳媒間，也掀起一波波壓倒性的好評聲浪，於全球最大影迷基地IMDb獲得網友給予7.8分超高評價，更贏得指標影評大站「爛番茄Rotten Tomatoes」高達75分的佳評肯定！電影裡撼動人心、蒼涼孤絕的末日景象，以及挖掘人性黑暗、怵目驚心的殘酷場景，絕對超越同類型驚悚傑作《28天毀滅倒數》28 Days Later…帶給影迷的深刻體驗，尤其當全球處於後911事件的恐懼與地球暖化的威脅之下，《末路浩劫》更無疑是一部攸關全人類、具有宏觀格局與深遠寓意的精彩佳作，勢必將成為影史上最扣人心弦的末日電影新經典！

被喻為海明威Ernest Hemingway與福克納William Faulkner唯一後繼者的美國當代文學巨擘—戈馬克麥卡錫，曾榮獲美國國家書卷獎、美國國家書評人獎、鵝毛筆獎與普立茲文學獎等重要文壇大獎。2008年，戈馬克的作品入選為紐約時報百大好書之一，並改編成電影《險路勿近》No Country for Old Men，這部驚悚犯罪傑作於該年的奧斯卡頒獎典禮，一舉拿下年度最佳影片等四項重要大獎，也讓麥卡錫的小說作品再度成為好萊塢劇本的熱門改編素材。《末路浩劫》改編自麥卡錫獻給摯愛幼子的最新力作，電影裡深入刻畫毀滅性的地球災難對人性造成的強烈衝擊，在森冷陰暗的氛圍與末日的絕望中，藉由一對父子之間動人的情誼傳達出溫暖的人性關懷，帶給這部末日電影勝出同類型作品的嶄新視野與思維啟發！



《末路浩劫》由影壇才氣大導約翰希爾寇特John Hillcoat全力打造，來自澳洲的他於2005年以張力十足的新品種西部動作片《生死關頭》The Proposition，榮獲澳洲電影學會4項大獎，並獲得最佳影片與最佳導演等12座獎項提名。約翰紮實的導演功力，果然為他贏得了進軍好萊塢的絕佳機會，受邀為《末路浩劫》這部格局浩大、卡司非凡的年度大作掌鏡，他以獨特的詮釋為末日電影開創新局，也獲得了威尼斯影展最高榮譽金獅獎的提名殊榮，在訪談中他特別表示：「這部電影包含了許多層面，它可以被視為一段具有神秘寓意的靈魂之旅，一個世代傳承的寓言，或是一記敲在崩毀世界中，喚醒道德良知、希望與信念的警鐘。整部片可說是一段充滿恐懼卻又帶著溫柔力量的黑暗史詩旅程！」結合文學鉅著與傑出大導的不凡力作，《末路浩劫》將是年度影壇最不容忽視的震撼鉅片！

《末路浩劫》中最重要的靈魂人物—父親一角，由好萊塢性格男星維果莫天森擔綱演出。才氣縱橫的維果，融合詩人、畫家與攝影師等多重身份於一身，當然他更是一位演技精湛、不可多得的實力派演員。維果最令影迷稱道的代表作，莫過於在奇幻史詩鉅作《魔戒三部曲》中飾演人皇亞拉岡，冷靜剛強的銀幕英雄形象，使他深受廣大女性粉絲的喜愛。而在犯罪驚悚傑作《暴力效應》A History of Violence當中，維果則以層次豐富的演出，將一名居家好男人漸漸轉變為冷酷殺手的過程，詮釋地絲絲入扣、精彩萬分。



2007年的黑幫動作鉅片《黑幕謎情》Eastern Promises，將維果推上個人演藝事業的巔峰，他飾演一名殺人不眨眼的俄國黑幫份子，一場全裸上陣的澡堂打鬥戲，血腥殘暴的程度堪稱影史首見，而他令人不寒而慄的傳神演出，也使他同時贏得金球獎與奧斯卡影帝提名殊榮，並獲得英國獨立電影獎最佳男主角的重量級肯定。此次於《末路浩劫》當中，維果飾演於末世災難降臨時，帶著稚子尋找生命希望的堅毅父親，他與惡劣環境的搏鬥與掙扎，以及他對孩子全心付出的父愛，將令影迷深刻動容。導演也對維果的表現表達高度讚賞，他提到：「維果有著平易如凡人般的特質，但同時他也具備這個角色所需要的剛毅內在與強健體格，並在演出中成功地展現各種豐富的情緒！」本片絕對是維果莫天森繼《黑幕謎情》之後，再攀演技高峰的生涯代表作！



除了演技派巨星維果莫天森令人目不轉睛的完美演出，《末路浩劫》同時也延攬了眾多好萊塢重量級演員共同參與。以改編自真人實事的犯罪劇情佳作《女魔頭》Monster，勇奪奧斯卡影后大獎的性感女星莎莉賽隆Charlize Theron，將於本片中飾演維果莫天森深愛的妻子，她在戲中所散發的美麗光輝，是支持著維果越過災厄最溫暖的動力。而在黑幫經典系列《教父》The Godfather與警匪驚悚傑作《萬惡夜總會》We Own the Night當中，皆有精彩表現的奧斯卡影帝勞勃杜瓦Robert Duvall，將在《末路浩劫》裡飾演主角父子檔在旅途上遇見的一名關鍵過客，與天真無邪的小男孩有段相當精采的對手戲。另外，在《記憶拼圖》Memento中將失憶男主角抽絲剝繭尋兇過程，演得精彩入勝的好萊塢性格男星蓋皮爾斯Guy Pearce，也將在《末路浩劫》裡再度發揮紮實演技，帶給影迷印象深刻的演出！



片中特別值得一提的明日之星，當屬來自澳洲的天才童星寇迪史密麥克菲Kodi Smit-McPhee，他將於片中初挑大樑飾演戲份吃重的男孩一角，年僅13歲的他已榮獲澳洲電影學會最佳新進演員獎，以及澳洲影評人協會特別成就獎兩項大獎肯定，《末路浩劫》的導演與飾演其父親的維果莫天森，對寇迪在電影裡渾然天成的演出與敬業的表現更是讚不絕口，維果甚至盛譽寇迪的表演超越他生涯中所有演過對手戲的資深演員。在如此堅強陣容的力挺下，影迷們絕不能錯過這一次，在大銀幕上欣賞好萊塢頂尖演員同場飆戲的絕佳機會！



英文本事：
It is more than ten years since the world was destroyed–by what, nobody can say. It could have been a nuclear event, or the collision of the Earth with another cosmic entity. Or the sun may have imploded and taken out the planet as collateral damage to its own flameout. One day there was a big flash of light, and then nothing. The result of this cataclysmic event, whatever it was, is that there is no energy, no power, no vegetation, no food. Millions of people have been eradicated, destroyed by fires and floods or scorched and incinerated in their cars where they sat when the event hit or suffocated by starvation and despair in civilization's slow death after the power went out.



The Man (Viggo Mortensen) and The Boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) – "each the other's world entire," as McCarthy describes them in his novel – are on the move with all their precious possessions—whatever food and clothing they can scrounge, utensils and tools, plastic bags, tarps, blankets and anything else to keep warm in the frigid, sunless, ash-filled outdoors—on their backs and in a shopping cart outfitted with a bicycle mirror so they can see who's coming up behind them. Their desperate, improvised traveling gear and their scruffy unwashed bodies give them the look of the homeless. And that is what they are. That's what everybody is in this lifeless frontier.

As they trudge along on foot, following the once-magnificent American highway system west toward the ocean, they hide in the woods and in old abandoned structures, any shelter they can improvise that keeps them safe from the elements and the wandering bands who would think nothing of taking everything from them. They come across all sorts of desperate people. There is a road gang, a bunch of tough hombres who have somehow managed to fuel their big semi. There are scavengers and hunters of anything that moves, some well-fed cannibals who keep a cellar-full of barely human cuisine in a big house on a hill. And there are all manner of thieves.



And then there is an Old Man (Robert Duvall), who they come across bent and shuffling down the road in front of them, walking with a makeshift cane in shoes made of rags and cardboard. The Boy takes a liking to him and persuades his dad to share some of their food and camp with him. The old man, who admits his name is Ely, is equally impressed by the boy—impressed at his very existence as they are by his. He tells them that he's been on the road forever. He tells them that when he saw the boy he thought he'd died and gone to heaven, seen an angel.

Even in this bleak universe, there are moments of happiness. Occasionally, the pair comes across some food long forgotten in a cupboard or stashed in a fallout shelter. While rummaging in an abandoned mall, the father finds a forgotten can of Coke stuck in the bowels of an upturned vending machine. When he gives the treat to his son, who has never indulged in anything like it, the father is amused by his son's astonishment of the drink's fizzy sweetness. And when they come across a waterfall with relatively clean water, both jump right in for an session of skinny-dipping.



And then there are the numerous flashbacks to the man's life with his wife (Charlize Theron) before the great disaster, before she took her own life rather than see it taken by what or who she knew was coming. The man clings to these memories that nourish him spiritually and help him to push his increasingly frail body ever further in the quest to get his son to some kind of safety. The sweet memory of his life before the fall and of his halcyon childhood days is some of the bright spots that enliven the terrain for him and the boy.

The child's innate goodness, his compassion and his sense of wonder and curiosity are also bright spots in this story, reminding the man of why he must keep on going no matter what even when he has forgotten why he must do it.
