The Last Of Us is a high-profile adaptation of the Sony Playstation franchise from Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.

The story takes place twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone.
