The year is 2013 and the future isn't what it used to be. There are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow-only scattered bands of terrorized survivors in what was once called the United States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule named Bill, a knack for the works of Shakespeare and something he has yet to discover: the power to inspire hope. Kevin Costner, director, co-producer and star of the 1990 Best Picture Academy Award winner Dances with Wolves, again takes on triple duties in this epic futuristic adventure. Costner plays a wayfarer in a world where might makes right but destined to lead a heroic rebellion where right makes right. Sweeping battle scenes, breathtaking wilderness vistas and touching moments of personal triumph all combine to make sure "The Postman delivers!"
