The Road is based off of Cormac McCarthy's best selling 2006 novel by the same name. McCarthy's book was an excellent read, and hopefully the film will deliver as well.

"The Road" An Exercise in Dystopian Horror
In the dystopian themed film, The Road, which is due to be released November 25, a desperate Viggo Mortensen travels across an obliterated US countryside with his young son. In the storyline of The Road, the world has been ravaged by an unnamed cataclysmic event. The pair are seeking a fabled utopia that is rumored to be on the West coast, but there are two major roadblocks standing in their way; the father is ailing, and they have to defend themselves against surviving humans who have been reduced to cannibalism --- with children being their prime target!

I think this was more apocalyptic than dystopian.
