The Road Ending Explained: What Happens To The Boy

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

The Road ending is just as bleak as the rest of the post-apocalyptic drama. Director John Hillcoat adapted Cormac McCarthys book The Road in 2009. Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee star as a father and son (credited only as Man and Boy") trying to survive after an unspecified extinction event has wiped out most of the population. The Road follows the man and the boy as they head southwards through the barren wasteland in search of the coast and warmer climes, scavenging what little food they can find and having terrifying encounters with marauders and cannibals along the way.
