Movie Description
Vic (Don Johnson), survivor of atomic holocaust, wanders hungrily across the bleak desert landscape in search of cans of food buried deep in radioactive ash. His telepathic dog, Blood (Tim McIntire) depends on Vic for food, but Vic needs Blood to find him something much more scarce: female companionship. The bedraggled duo eventually discover an underground society of survivors, called "Down Under," where they have reproduced the look of pre-apocalypse Americana but with frighteningly totalitarian politics. A cult black comedy based on the novella by Harlan Ellison.

    From the writer of Star Trek's "The City on the Edge of Forever", and the director of, well, "A Boy and His Dog", is the story of a young man, Vic, struggling to survive in a post-World War 4 America, with his trusted companion, his dog, named Blood. And if that is enough to suspense disbelief... The dog communciates with the boy via telepathy. On the prowl for women, guns, and food, the pair venture until met by Quilla, a young woman from a society that has hidden from the war below ground.

    The movie is the 1970s at its best, or worst, depending on your views.

    It is the type of movie that either you will love, or hate, and probably determine which in the first ten minutes. It features a young Don Johnson, and one of the best closing lines of a film, on a par with "Casablanca". I recomend watching it just for it!

    It is, in my humble opinion, a most sequel-worthy flick! A VHS to own!
