The Last of Us

Based on the critically acclaimed video game of the same name, The Last of Us takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed by an outbreak of a mutated fungus.

What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they depend on each other for survival while coming face to face with violent cannibalistic creatures and equally dangerous and desperate survivors.
