The Postman | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

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.

Synopsis: Post-apocalyptic sci-fi/adventure about a man wandering the wasteland that once was the U.S. spouting Shakespeare. Jailed by the despotic dictator, he escapes and dons an old postal worker's uniform to deliver old mail and restore hope to the woebegone survivors. Based on the book by David Brin.
