Eli is a wanderer of a post nuclear apocalypse United States. He's has been wandering for 30 or so years and during the events of the film, was trying to go to the west coast.

His mission is to bring the last existing Bible to a safe location, which caused him to go to the west coast. Eli meets a man named Carnegie in a town. Eli finds out through Carnegie's daughter that he wants his Bible and Eli escapes. Eventually Eli and Carnegie's mistress's daughter Solara are on the run but Carnegie finds them and shoots Eli. They row to Alcatraz to find help and find a group on the island. He reveals that he is actually blind and that the King James Bible he carries in in braille. Eli eventually dies and new copies of the King James Bible are made from the printing press on Alcatraz.
