Eli/Bio & Battles

"I walk by faith, not by sight."

- Eli "Cursed be the ground for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us. For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are... and to the dust we shall return."

- Eli

When a nuclear disaster leaves most of the world in a wreck, there are several shanty towns spreaded around the planet. When a drifter named Eli enters a town owned by a man named Carnegie, he sparks interest with his copy of the Bible. Eli's goal is to protect this Bible and find a safe spot for it. Carnegie already owns other pieces of religious literature like the Quran so this book would complete his collection. He orders his men to shoot Eli down but the bullets don't seem to do much and Eli escapes with Carnegie's daughter Solara. The two are chased by Carnegie's militia throughout the film and are eventually cornered. Carnegie shoots Eli with his pistol and leaves him for dead but survives the bullet wound. The two paddle to Alcatraz, where Eli reveals that the Bible is in braile and that he is blind. He recites the whole Bible and eventually dies from his gunshot wound. The Bible is reprinted in the prison's printing press while Carnegie's town enters a riot.
