A post-apocalyptic tale based on a novella by Harlan Ellison that asks the question, "Who's your dinner"?
Author Ellison has gone on record stating that A BOY AND HIS DOG is one of the best and most faithful adaptations of his work to hit the screen, and as scripted and directed by L.Q. Jones, the movie's ironically humorous tone sets it apart from a large percentage of filmed science fiction.
Instead of using its vision of a ravaged future in the service of life-and-death drama or as a cautionary tale, A BOY AND HIS DOG tells its story with bent humor, presenting an unlikely pair of friends who, despite their frequent arguments and individual unappealing qualities, are redeemed by their committed friendship and engaging characterization
Kids, do yourself a favor and watch this movie.
