In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, Denzel Washington's (Training Day, American Gangster) Eli is a solitary man walking across the wasteland that was once America.

A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize.

Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds, and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie (Batman's Gary Oldman), the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted daughter Solara (That 70's Show, Max Payne's Mila Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather's domain.

In this clip from THE BOOK OF ELI, Gary Oldman's Carnegie and Denzel Washington's Eli have a showdown in a western-style stand off. The film is directed by Allen and Albert Hughes (Dead Presidents, Menace II Society, From Hell, American Pimp).
