Short description

Set in the year 2024 in post-apocalyptic America, 18-year old Vic and his telepathic dog, Blood, are scavengers in the desolate wilderness ravaged by World War IV, where survivors must battle for food and shelter in the desert-like wasteland. Vic and Blood eke out a meager existence, foraging for food and fighting gangs of cutthroats.

What's left behind the scenes

The film is based on the eponymous short story by Harlan Ellison.
Harlan Ellison was extremely critical of the film, for example, calling it "stinky".
