About The Postman
"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.
Directed by Kevin Costner
Written by Eric Roth, Brian Helgeland
