9. The Road

A bleak, post-apocalyptic world sets the stage for The Road, where a father (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) journey through desolation, dodging ruthless survivors, searching for safety and hope. The father, once an ordinary man, is now solely focused on keeping his son alive. With raw emotion and stark visuals, the film tugs at heartstrings. Directed by John Hillcoat in 2009, it starred Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortensen, and Guy Pearce but, despite critical acclaim, struggled at the box office.
