In 2010, Albert and Allen Hughes teamed up with Denzel Washington to deliver a compelling "end of the world" story in The Book of Eli. The world is barely inhabitable with some regions covered in ash and others nothing but a barren wasteland of its former self. However, the titular Eli traverses this world on a mission alone. Between the natural hazards of the world and groups of marauders terrorizing anyone seemingly weaker than them, this is no easy task.
