Following it, she finds her way to the trunk of an old tree some ways off, and falls down a hole. The hole leads her to a strange room, of which she finds a key, as well as a drink that makes her smaller, and a cake that increases her size. After getting the key and shrinking down to use a small door, she soon finds herself in an enormous garden area.

Soon after, she comes across the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen), as well as the Dormouse (Barbara Windsor), a Dodo bird (Michael Gough), and the Tweedles (Matt Lucas). The White Rabbit explains that is sure he has found the right Alice this time, while the Dormouse believes he is mistaken. Alice explains that her name is Alice, but feels they are looking for another “Alice.” They take her to Abosolom the Caterpillar (Alan Rickman), who consults a scroll, which contains details regarding the history of Wonderland, from it’s birth onward. The scroll claims that on the Frabjous Day, Alice will return to slay the Jabberwocky. Alice sees this, and adamants that she is not the person in the scroll, when a commotion breaks out, and the Knave of Hearts (Crispin Glover) appears, along with some red-carded soldiers and a creature called a Bandersnatch. Everyone scatters, as the Knave takes the scroll, and captures the Dodo bird. Alice, when confronted with the Bandersnatch, stands her ground, convinced that it is just a dream. However, the creature scratches her, and Alice takes off running, but not before the Dormouse plucks out one of the creature’s eyes.

Some ways off, Alice encounters the Tweedles again, who attempt to help her, but are soon captured by a giant bird that takes them to the Red Queen’s castle. At the castle, the Knave of Hearts informs the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) about the scroll, and the prophecy of Alice killing the Jabberwocky (of which she possesses). The Red Queen orders Alice to be found, and the Knave utilizes a bloodhound named Bayard (Timothy Spall) to track her down, promising freedom for Bayard’s wife and pups (a lie, meant as a way to get the dog to help the Red Queen).

Meanwhile, Alice encounters the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), who leads her to the Mad Hatter’s place, where she encounters the Dormouse again, as well as the March Hare (Paul Whitehouse). The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) is pleased to see Alice, and is in rapture over the coming Frabjous day in which she will slay the Jabberwocky. Alice again insists she is not ‘that Alice,’ when the Knave of Hearts and Bayard close in. The Hatter stuffs Alice into a teapot, to hide her from the Knave. In secret, the Dormouse scolds the dog for bringing the Knave there, but Bayard explains why he came. He then attempts to lead the Knave off in a different direction.

After they have left, the Hatter walks Alice through the nearby woods, where they come across the burned ruins of a small village. The Hatter then explains to Alice about how in the time she was gone, the Red Queen has taken over Wonderland, banishing the White Queen (Anne Hathaway) to her own domain, and taking her vorpal sword.

As they talk, the Knave again approaches, and the Hatter places Alice on his hat, and flings it across a river, giving himself up to the Knave, who takes him to the Red Queen. Later on, Bayard finds the hat and Alice. Alice manages to convince Bayard to take her to the Red Queen’s castle, to rescue the Hatter. Along with the hat, they find their way there, where Alice encounters the White Rabbit assisting with a game of croquet with the Red Queen. Alice requests to be made larger (she is still the size of a gerbil), and the rabbit gives her a cake. However, she eats too much and ends up almost 10 feet tall, disrupting the croquet game. The Queen does not recognize Alice, who says she is ‘Um’ from Umbridge, and wishes to help the Queen. The Queen, impressed by the size of Alice’s head, declares her to be made part of her royal court.

The Hatter is brought before the Queen and Alice, and is at first intended to be beheaded. However, the Hatter manages to stall for time, by requesting that he make the Queen a hat for her enormous head. Flattered by the attention, she gives into this request. Alice soon after finds out that the vorpal sword is on the grounds of the castle, but is locked away in a chest in the quarters of the Bandersnatch. After procuring the plucked eye from the Dormouse (who has broken into the castle to free the Hatter), Alice manages to return the eye to the creature. This allows her to gain access to the sword. Alice goes to the Hatter’s room, and finds the Dormouse there. However, the Knave of Hearts shows up shortly, and when the Dormouse lets slip Alice’s true name, he attempts to kill her. Alice manages to escape into the courtyard, where the Bandersnatch helps her escape from the castle. Bayard also accompanies her, as they head for the White Queen’s castle.

The Red Queen then orders that the Hatter and the Dormouse be executed the next day. However, the Cheshire Cat uses his trickery to take on the guise of the Hatter, and allows the Hatter, Dormouse, the White Rabbit, the Tweedles, and Bayard’s family to escape. They all soon meet up at the White Queen’s castle, where the Queen has used her potions knowledge to shrink Alice to normal size.

The next day then dawns…the Frabjous day. Almost everyone is willing to take up arms for the White Queen. However, she hopes that Alice will fulfill the prophecy, but Alice rushes off to the Queen’s garden, still upset over everyone pushing her into this task. It is there she encounters Absolom, cocooning himself. It is here that Absolom explains to Alice how she had been to Wonderland before, and suddenly, it all comes back to her, that what she thought originally was a dream was real. After her revelation, Alice dons the armor prepared for her by the White Queen, and takes up the vorpal sword.

Both the White Queen and the Red Queen meet on a checkerboard field. Both Queens meet first, with the White Queen asking her sister to not do battle, but the Red Queen refuses to give into the pacification of her sister’s plea. The White Queen brings forth Alice as their ‘champion,’ as the Red Queen’ summons the Jabberwocky. As Alice faces off with the creature, the rest of the armies go to war. Alice plays a mind-game with herself, talking of 6 impossible things, as it is claimed her father would do before breakfast. In her mind-game, she manages to find the strength to slay the Jabberwocky. The Red Queen demands that her subjects kill Alice, but as the White Queen’s champion has slayed that of the Red Queen, the Red Queen’s subjects will no longer follow her commands.

The White Queen orders the Red Queen banished to the Outlands, for the crimes that she has committed (due to a the White Queen’s vow not to harm a living creature, she will not kill her sister), with noone to offer her sympathy. The Knave of Hearts is also chained to her, as punishment as well. However, the thought of being alone with the Queen causes him to try to kill her, before his dagger is taken from him by the Hatter.

After the Red Queen and the Knave are taken away, the White Queen’s army rejoices, with the Hatter doing a Fudderwupping dance, much to the delight of everyone. The White Queen then collects some of the Jabberwocky’s blood, and gives it to Alice. The blood of the Jabberwocky allows Alice to return to her world, and she returns to the Garden Party.

Alice then explains to Hamish that she cannot accept his proposal, as well as speaks her mind to a number of different relatives and acquaintances. Her forthright attitude catches the eye of Hamish’s father, and soon, the two discuss plans to expand the shipping routes to China, a land that has not yet been opened to the west.

Alice is then made an apprentice to the company, and sets off with a crew to open the shipping route to China, aboard a ship titled “Wonder”. The last thing shown is a bright blue butterfly, none other than Abosolom.

This idea soon fills the heads of the remaining toys: -Woody -Buzz Lightyear -Jessie -Bullseye -Mr Potato Head -Mrs Potato Head -3 alien squeak toys from Pizza Planet -Slinky Dog -Rex -Hamm the Piggy Bank
Several are of the persuasion that Sarge is right, and they’ll be tossed out soon, but Woody (Tom Hanks) believes that Andy wouldn’t do this, and figures he’ll store them in the attic…maybe one day to be played with again when Andy has kids of his own.

The toys’ ‘staff meeting’ is cut short when Andy returns to his room with his Mom (Laurie Metcalf) in tow. With only a few days left until he leaves, Andy has not cleaned up his room. His Mom is also having Molly (Beatrice Miller) clean her room as well, and tells the two to throw out what they don’t want, store extra items in the attic, or donate items to Sunnyside Daycare. From Andy’s room, the toys watch as Molly throws her Barbie doll (Jodi Benson) in the donations box, along with some other toys.

Andy finally takes out a black trash bag, and begins to put his old toys into it. When he finally gets to Woody and Buzz (Tim Allen), he hesitates, before putting Woody in a box marked ‘College,’ and tossing Buzz in the black trash bag. Inside, the toys think they are going to be thrown away, and Woody watches as Andy leaves the room. His panic turns to relief as he sees Andy open the attic door. However, before Andy can go up, he helps Molly move the donations box downstairs. The lapse causes the attic door to close, and Andy’s Mom soon after finds the trash bag with the toys. Thinking Andy just left ‘trash’ laying around, she takes it with another bag to the curb.

Woody looks down the street in horror as the garbage truck slowly makes it’s way to the curb. Woody jumps out the window, and slides down a pipe to the front lawn…only to see the trash bags thrown into the garbage truck and crushed! Shortly thereafter, Woody notices a recycling bin walking towards the garage. Following it, he is relieved to see that his friends escaped. However, they are now all convinced that Andy meant to throw them away.

Woody tries to explain what really happened, but most of them just feel that he is in denial. Jessie (Joan Cusack) soon notices the box of donations to Sunnyside Daycare, and proposes that they all go there. Everyone eagerly jumps in, except for Woody, who demands that they all return to Andy’s room right away. Before he can say anymore, the trunk to the family mini-van closes, and Andy’s Mom takes the box to Sunnyside. Inside, the other toys find Barbie, distraught and heart-broken that Molly threw her away.

After arriving at Sunnyside, Andy’s Mom brings the toys in to the front desk. A family friend is working the desk, with her little daughter Bonnie (Emily Hahn) close by. The toys are then taken to ‘The Butterfly Room.’ Looking through the handle-hole in the box, the toys are excited to see a group of children happily playing with the toys in the room.

After the recess bell sounds and the kids leave the room, the toys eagerly escape from the box, only to meet a very friendly group of toys, excited to see them. The group is soon joined by a strawberry-scented bear named Lotso (Ned Beatty), who soon calls his associate Ken (Michael Keaton) to escort the group around, showing them what Sunnyside has to offer. However, during the course of their tour, Ken soon becomes smitten with Barbie…who soon finds herself drawn to him as well.

Lotso explains that the toys are taken care of, and that due to a neverending supply of kids coming and going, the toys will never be without someone to play with them. Andy’s toys eagerly accompany Lotso over to “The Caterpillar Room,” where he then leaves them to experience their first playtime at Sunnyside. However, Ken and Barbie appear to have gotten along quite well, and Barbie (at the insistence from the group upon seeing her so happy) eagerly goes back with Ken and Lotso to “The Butterfly Room.”

Woody explains that while Sunnyside does seem great, he strongly believes they should go back to Andy. Woody asks Buzz to come back, but Buzz refuses, saying they should stick together. Realizing that the others won’t accompany him, Woody sneaks out of Sunnyside, but not before accidentally losing his hat. In the process, the little girl named Bonnie finds him, and takes him home with her.

Back in “The Caterpillar Room,” recess ends, and the toys get their first playtime…only to find the room filled with noisy screaming toddlers, each of them rambunctious and not as ‘delicate’ as Andy was. Once the daycare closes, the toys feel there has been some mistake, and that they should be in “The Butterfly Room” instead. Buzz manages to get out of the room, intending to talk to Lotso. However, once outside, his attention is drawn to Ken and several other toys going inside a vending machine.

Buzz follows them, but is caught by a sleepy-eyed doll named Big Baby. Ken and the others take Buzz to the daycare’s library and tie him up. Suddenly, Lotso comes across the other toys, and demands that they let Buzz go. Buzz thanks Lotso for helping him out, and makes his request for himself and the other toys to be transferred. Lotso admires Buzz’s initiative, but is only willing to consider to have him join “The Butterfly Room” inhabitants. When Buzz refuses, Lotso orders Buzz held down, and manages to procure a Buzz Lightyear instruction manual from the library. Using it, the group of toys sets Buzz to “demo” mode, putting him back in his ‘deluded’ space-ranger mode.

Lotso, his compatriots, and Buzz return to “The Caterpillar Room,” where Buzz subdues his friends, and places them in prison-like storage cages. Lotso then explains how the Daycare is run: all newcomers start in “The Caterpillar Room.” If they survive, they move up to “The Butterfly Room.”

To set an example about what happens to troublemakers, Lotso has Big Baby take Mr Potato Head out to the playground, and stuff him in “The Box” (aka a sandbox). Also as ‘a warning,’ Lotso produces Woody’s hat, though doesn’t explain what happened to the toys’ friend. Barbie finds out about this shortly, and angrily rebukes Ken. Refusing to be a part of Lotso’s plan, she is ‘imprisoned’ as well.

During the toys’ day at Sunnyside, Woody has been in Bonnie’s house, being used as part of her imaginative fun and games. During her playtime, Woody grows excited to be part of a real playtime again, but longs to get back to Andy.

Once the household is asleep, Bonnie’s toys help Woody access the family computer. Woody is relieved when it seems that Andy’s house is very close. He thanks the toys, and tells them that if Bonnie ever outgrows them, they should go to Sunnyside. However, the name causes the toys to look on in fear. The toys explain that Lotso is responsible, and one of Bonnie’s toys named Chuckles (Bud Luckey), begins to tell a story.

Lotso, Chuckles, and Big Baby were once owned by a little girl named Daisy. Of the three, she loved Lotso the most. However, one day at a rest stop, the three toys were accidentally left behind. The three eventually made it back to Daisy’s house. Lotso and Chuckles managed to look in her window…only to see that Lotso had been replaced. Upon seeing this, something changed inside Lotso, and he declared they had all been replaced (even though there was only proof that he had been replaced). Big Baby wanted to still go back, but Lotso just yelled “She doesn’t love you no more,” and tore off a necklace around Baby’s neck: a plastic heart that said “I belong to Daisy.” Secretly, Chuckles kept it.

The three toys went from place-to-place, until finally finding Sunnyside. Lotso took over, and set up his system by which almost any new toy would not survive under the strenuous conditions of the toddlers. Chuckles explains that he eventually was broken at Sunnyside, and Bonnie took him in and repaired him. Realizing the danger his friends are in, Woody decides to break back into the daycare and rescue them.

The next day, Woody manages to sneak into the daycare, and move through the ceiling tiles. Finding his way into a hidden area of “The Caterpillar Room,” he chances upon a Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone (Teddy Newton). The telephone tells Woody that he should have stayed gone, and that there’s no way that he and his friends can get out. Woody thanks him for the concern, but says they have to try. The Chatter Telephone then explains what Woody and his friends will be up against:

-Lotso’s minions manning search lights on the playground. -Trucks patrolling the halls and the playground. -An 8-ft high cinderblock wall. -A cymbal-clanging monkey that monitors the security cameras in the building.

The telephone tells Woody, that the only other way out is through a garbage chute across the playground.

Once the toddlers have gone to recess, Woody joins his friends, who tell him about Buzz having been ‘reset,’ and how they want to get back to Andy. Woody then sets his plan into action. Later that evening, the group springs into action:

-Mr Potato Head creates a scene to get put in the box again…this time as a way to get outside and report for the group.

-Barbie pleads with Ken that she can’t take being imprisoned, and Ken lets her out. He takes her back to his dreamhouse, where Barbie quickly subdues him, and using one of his outfits as a disguise, manages to infiltrate the daycare library to find the instruction manual for Buzz.

-Woody and Slinky Dog manage to infiltrate the main security room, and take down the cymbal-clanging monkey.

-Rex and Hamm start a fight to distract Buzz, allowing Jessie to escape, and trap Buzz under a plastic tub.

The toys then regroup, and set about trying to get Buzz back to normal. However, a mistake in resetting Buzz sets him to speak and act in Spanish. With little time left, the group decides to worry about fixing him later, and quickly set out to get to the garbage chute.

The gang gets to the end of the chute before plummeting into the dumpster…only to find Lotso, Ken, and his associates waiting (along with the chatter telephone, now broken by the bad toys). Lotso offers the toys a choice: either end up in the dumpster, or return to the daycare. Jessie and Barbie both decry what Lotso has done to the daycare, and even Ken soon turns against Lotso.

The eagerness of the group and Woody to return to Andy incites Lotso to declare that love doesn’t exist. It is then that Woody mentions Daisy, and produces the tag that Chuckles had kept. Big Baby sees the tag, and Lotso declares that she didn’t love them and replaced them. Woody reminds Lotso that it was only him she replaced. This revelation causes Big Baby to reach for the tag, before Lotso destroys, it, yelling at Big Baby for being stupid and believing that Daisy loved him. Big Baby, feeling betrayed, then throws Lotso in the dumpster, slamming the lid and blowing a raspberry at him.

The other toys begin to run across the lid, before one of the Pizza Planet aliens’ feet gets stuck in the lid. Woody goes to help him, only to have Lotso grab his hand. The others rush to help Woody, but just then, a dump truck pulls up, and dumps the contents (including Andy’s Toys) into the collecting bin in the back. Barbie and Ken, who were not on the dumpster’s lid, can only watch as their friends are taken from them.

Inside the dumpster, more trash is emptied onto the group, before a TV set falls on Buzz…which manages to set him back to his proper self. However, before the toys can rejoice, the truck arrives at the Tri-County landfill. As the gang moves about, they are shocked when a bulldozer scoops up the three Pizza Planet aliens, carrying them away! The remaining toys are then shovelled by another machine onto a moving conveyor belt, headed towards a large shredding machine. The toys manage to stave off being shredded, by grabbing onto metal objects that are being magnetized to an overhead track. Woody and Buzz even manage to save Lotso, who thanks them.

Once they make it through, they find themselves on another conveyor belt, heading towards daylight. However, as they draw closer, they soon realize it’s a large pit, that empties into a fiery incinerator! They toys begin to try to outrun their fiery fate, when Lotso notices an emergency stop switch. He motions for the others to help him, and they help hoist him up to stop the machine. However, once reaching the button, Lotso just smirks at Woody, muttering “Where’s your boy now, Sheriff?’ and running off.

The toys are soon unable to keep running, and tumble into the pit. They attempt to try and climb out, but there appears to be no escape. With no hope left, the toys all join hands, willing to stay together to the very end.

Suddenly, a blue light appears overhead, and a giant claw falls down, scooping up the group. As they wonder how their rescue was possible, the enormous claw swings by the glass case of the machine, where the three Pizza Planet aliens are!

Once the group gets out, they thank their saviors, and wonder what became of Lotso.

Unknown to them, Lotso is found by another garbageman at the dump. Remembering having a Lots-a-Huggin Bear as a kid, he then ties Lotso to the grille of his dumptruck as he heads off for duty.

Andy’s Toys manage to find the dump truck that services Andy’s neighborhood, and manage to get back in time before Andy leaves for college. After cleaning themselves up, they sneak back into the house, finding Andy’s room cleaned out, except for some minimal items, and two boxes. One marked ‘College,’ the other ‘Attic.’

Woody’s friends pile into the ‘Attic’ box, and say their goodbyes, safe in the fact that they’ll be safe. Hearing Andy and his Mom approaching, Woody hops in the ‘College’ box. As they enter Andy’s room, his Mother is hit with the sad reality that her son is going away. Andy tells her that even though he’ll be gone, he’ll still care about her.

Hearing this, Woody realizes that Andy can still care for him and the other toys: an example of ‘true love,’ in that you never forget those you really love. As Andy is distracted by his sister Molly and his dog Buster, Woody quickly grabs a Post-It note and a marker, writing down Bonnie’s street address, before hopping in the ‘Attic’ box.

Andy returns to the room, and sees the note on the ‘Attic’ box, thinking that his Mom wrote it. Andy takes the box to the address, but is unsure just where he is. It is only when he sees Bonnie playing in her family’s front yard with the same quirky imagination that he had, does he relax.

Andy then gets out of the car with his box. As Bonnie sees him approach, she stops her game and calls for her Mom. Bonnie’s Mom recognizes Andy, who then explains that he has some toys for Bonnie. Andy then introduces each of his toys, telling Bonnie a little bit about each of them:

- Jessie loves little critters. – Bullseye is her favorite ‘critter.’ – Mr and Mrs Potato Head are madly in love – The three green aliens come from a strange place called Pizza Planet. – Hamm will save your money, but is also ‘The Evil Dr Porkchop.’ – Rex is a fearsome predator. – Slinky is as loyal as they come for a dog. – Buzz Lightyear is a cool space ranger who flies, shoots lasers, and protects the galaxy from the Evil Emperor Zurg.

With each toy revealed, Bonnie gets more and more brave, until after Buzz, she peeks into the box and sees Woody. Andy has no knowledge of how Woody got in there, but is surprised when Bonnie says ‘My Cowboy Doll,’ and one of Woody’s lines: “There’s a snake in my boot!”

Andy sees Bonnie looking at Woody, and explains to her how important Woody is to him: how long he’s had him, and how brave Woody can be. However, he explains to Bonnie that she can have Woody, if she promises to take good care of him, and the other toys. When she quietly nods an affirmative, Andy suddenly begins to pretend-play with her, and the two are having an imaginative time interacting with their toys. Secretly, Andy’s toys are overjoyed at their last playtime with him.

Finally, Andy gets into his car, as Bonnie gathers her old and new toys on the porch. As she holds Woody and Buzz in her little arms, she makes Woody ‘wave’ goodbye. This causes Andy to give a sad but calming smile. “Thanks, guys,” he whispers, as he drives off.

After Andy leaves, Bonnie’s Mom takes her inside for lunch, leaving the toys on the porch, watching Andy’s car fade into the distance down the street. “So long, partner,” says Woody.

Woody smiles at the other toys, reaffirming that Andy did care for them, and care for them enough to leave them with another child who will take care of them and give them many playtimes to come. Woody then begins to introduce his friends to Bonnie’s other toys.

Some time afterward, the toys find a note in Bonnie’s backpack, from Ken. In the time since Lotso has been gone, Ken and Barbie have worked to abolish the unfair system that ran Sunnyside, and now the toys have an equal opportunity to move between the caterpillar and butterfly rooms. The toys at Sunnyside now enjoy there time there, and soon after, Sarge and his two paratroopers arrive, with both Ken and Barbie welcoming them.

• toy story tv set falls on buzz

The next morning, Eli wakes up and finds that his iPod is nearly out of power. The car battery rig he uses to charge it is almost out of juice. Eli continues his journey West and encounters a woman with a broken shopping cart. She asks him for help, but Eli calls out to the thugs hiding nearby since he can smell them. The leader pushes Eli around, wanting to rob him, after one warning Eli suddenly cuts off the leader’s hand with a machete. He then fights the other 5 marauders at the same time and kills them all. He kills the leader, robs the corpses of their valuables and walks away, continuing his journey west.

As he continues his journey, his iPod runs out of juice. He continues on his journey and ends up at the end of a destroyed high way ramp. Below, a couple is attacked by a group of bikers. The bikers kill the man, assault the woman and steal all of their books. They drive off, leaving Eli shaken but resolute in his determination not to get involved. He ponders which direction to go in and then ends up walking into a town. He finds the Engineer (Tom Waits) and trades him some KFC wet naps and a zippo lighter for a recharge on his battery. While he waits, he asks if there is a place where he can fill his canteen. He crosses the street to the bar across the street.

The bikers who killed the couple arrive at the bar and deliver the books and items they stole from the couple to Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the Mayor of the makeshift town. Carnegie is looking for a certain book, so he sends his illiterate henchmen to collect all the books they can. He sees the books they bring, a random collection of paperbacks and picture books, and is less than pleased. He orders that they be burned. He takes a hotel bottle of shampoo and tells Redridge (Ray Stevenson), his right hand man, that the bikers are to be rewarded for such a discovery. He goes to his lady, Claudia (Jennifer Beals), and shares the shampoo with her.

Downstairs, Eli trades his gloves and a arab scarf for a full canteen of water. The bar tender gives the canteen to Solara (Mila Kunis) and sends her out back to get some water. She goes out back to get the water, but Redridge steps in front of her. She makes him move aside and fills Eli’s canteen. In the bar, a cat walks in front of Eli iand snarls, he nudges it away. The lead Biker approaches Eli, ready to fight him for touching his cat. Eli slams his face into the bar and gets up to leave. However, the entire bar attacks him. He fights and kills all but one but one biker, when Solara returns with the canteen and begs Eli to stop. Redridge and Carnegie’s men arrive and hold Eli at gunpoint and bring him to Carnegie.

Carnegie is impressed to meet Eli. He recognizes Eli’s immense skill and the fact that he is also an educated man who knows scripture. He tells Eli that men like him, who are older but know things, are the future. He asks Eli to stay so that Carnegie can utilize his fighting skills to keep control over the town. Eli tells Carnegie that he has no interest in staying but Carnegie forces him to stay the night.

Redridge sends Claudia to deliver Eli food. He recognizes that Claudia is blind and asks her if she was blind her whole life or blinded by The Flash, an event which occurred during the Last Great War. She confirms that she was blind her whole life. He thanks her for bringing him water. Carnegie decides that the best way to keep Eli in town is to have Solara, Claudia’s daughter, sleep with Eli. Claudia begs him not to use Solara, but he sends her anyway. Eli doesn’t want to have sex, but Solara begs him to let her stay in the room since she is afraid for her mothers life. Eli and Solara eat together and she sees that Eli has a Bible, but doesn’t recognize what it is. Eli teaches her to pray and the two go to bed.

The next morning at breakfast, Solara tries to recite the prayer with her mother but forgets the Amen, which Carnegie supplies. He beats Claudia in front of Solara in order to find out if Eli has the book he seeks. When Solara signs him the cross on the cover, Carnegie orders Redridge to bring the book to him. When they get to the room, they see that Eli snuck out. Redridge kills the guard on duty and gathers the men to find him. Across the street, Eli gathers his battery and prepares to leave.

Carnegie goes over to Eli and begs him to stay and give him the Bible. He tells Eli that he isn’t afraid to kill Eli and take the Bible, since he thinks that it is the best way to keep the town under his control with the words which can keep people righteous. Eli tells Carnegie that he dreams of finding a town where the people need the book, but he tells Carnegie that it is not here. Carnegie orders Redridge to shoot Eli as he walks away but Redridge misses twice. A shootout ensues and Eli kills most of Carnegie’s men and wounds Carnegie’s knee. Redridge sees Eli as fearless and begrudgingly lets him leave. Behind the scenes, Claudia tells Solara to follow Eli, since she will be safer away from Carnegie.

Carnegie gets his leg treated by a doctor. The bullet and shrapnel are removed and he is bandaged up. He tells Redridge to prepare the vehicles to pursue Eli and recover the book. Redridge tells Carnegie that most of their men are dead and decides to use the book as leverage to get Solara as his concubine. Carnegie humorously, albeit reluctantly, agrees.

Eli travels down the road until Solara catches up to him. She wants to join him but she is rejected from the start. She offers to take him to the water supply. Eli fills his canteen at the underground srping, then tricks Solara and locks her in the cave. She screams and calls him a liar but Eli insists that he isn’t, wishing her well and leaves on his way.

Somehow Solara breaks out of the cave and follows in the direction Eli was going. She doesn’t find him, but instead finds the woman who worked with the thugs from earlier with her broken cart. She tries to help the woman, but the woman insists that she leave to keep from getting raped and killed. Two thugs attack Solara and just as they are about to rape her, Eli shoots one through the testicles with an arrow and then shoots the other through the throat. Solara hugs Eli and the two go off on their way.

Carnegie and Redridge’s men find the bodies of the marauders. They reckon that Eli can’t be more than a few miles ahead. Redridge finds a piece of Solara’s custom clothing and tells Carnegie with displeasure. Carnegie asks if Redridge still wants her and walks back to the car. One of their henchmen suggests that they call it a day, since their cars will give them away at night and they could drive right by the pair.

Eli and Solara sleep by an old cooling tower. Eli reads the book and Solara asks Eli to read it to him. He recites a bit of it and then puts the book away. She asks him to teach her how to read it but Eli doesn’t respond. When she thinks he’s asleep she goes to take a look at the book in his bag. She sees (but can’t read) an old K Mart tag which says “Hi, my name is Eli”. Eli grabs the bag away from her and makes her go back across the room, cocking his shotgun to make her know how serious he is.

The next day the pair set off and walk west. Solara asks him about the world before the War. He tells her that people had more than they needed and threw away things that others kill for today. She asks him why he keeps the book and Eli explains that it is the only bible left in the world since it was singled out for extermination during the War. He then explains why he keeps heading west, which perplexes Solara but she eventually comes to accept that Eli is acting on his faith. He explains how he found the Bible, insisting that a Voice told him where to go and that he would be protected. Solara thinks that Eli is delusional but says nothing.

The pair arrives at an old house with a sign that says No Trespassing. Eli tries to open the door, but a trap opens up and the two fall into a hole. They find themselves at the mercy of Martha (Frances de la Tour) and George (Michael Gambon), an elderly couple who have lived in their house for years. They ask why they didn’t obey the sign and Eli apologizes, saying he didn’t see it. They give Eli and Solara tea and then show them a cemetery filled with the people who attacked their house. Eli tells Solara that its time to go, insisting that the couple are cannibals who ate their victims and could have drugged the tea. As they leave, Carnegies caravan passes and sees the pair exiting the house. Eli and Solara re-enter the house and George and Martha pull out an impressive gun cache from under the sofa.

A stand off ensues. Carnegie tells Eli to through out the book. Everyone is ready for the gunfight. A covered book is hurled through the window. Redridge looks at it and realizes it’s a bomb, throwing it away and running for cover. Two cars explode, killing several men. Eli and company fire their weapons until Redridge pulls out an RPG missile and blows half the house up, killing Martha. George starts shooting wildly, killing men left and right until Carnegie’s men bring out a hand operated gatling gun and blast him away along with most of the house. Eli and Solara are surrounded and dragged out of the house.

Carnegie threatens to kill Solara, to the dismay of Redridge. Redridge entreats Eli to surrender the book and Eli tells Redridge where he hid it. Redridge recovers the book, with a locked flap, and gives it to Carnegie, who releases Solara. He says God is good. and Eli responds “all the time”. Carnegie responds “Well. Not all the time” and shoots Eli in the stomach. He puts Solara in one van with Redridge and a driver and then takes the book with him in the other.

In the other van, Redridge puts Eli’s machete on the dashboard and chuckles to himself now that Eli is gone. Solara uses the wire from Eli’s bow that she had in her pocket and chokes the driver until the car flips over. The driver is killed and Carnegie’s men turn around to go to the crash. Solara throws a grenade, blowing up the third car. Solara goes to the drivers seat and sees Redridge was impaled by Eli’s machete. He pulls the Machete out and steps out of the vehicle with grace. Collapsing on his knees in penance, he dies. Solara drives away and Carnegie opts not to go after her since he has the book.

Solara returns to the house and finds that Eli is missing. She finds him still walking west. She puts him in the car and he treats the gun shot wound with duct tape. She apologizes for losing Eli’s book but Eli responds that its time he put the lessons he learned to use: to do more for others than you do for yourself. They drive to the remnants of the Golden Gate Bridge and Eli says that they are close. He gets a row boat and starts to row toward Alcatraz Island. He gets weak, so Solara takes over. An armed guard calls out to the pair and Eli responds that he has in his possession a King James Bible. The guard lets him in.

Eli is taken to Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell), the curator of Alcatraz, who has been gathering all sorts of old items, such as books, vases, paintings, and storing them in the cells until they are ready to rebuild and reestablish society. Lombardi tells Eli that they have been missing a copy of the Bible, so Eli tells him to get a piece of paper and pen. He starts to recite the Bible word for word, having memorized it over the last 30 years.

Back in town, Carnegie tries to open the bible but realizes that he didn’t take Eli’s key to the book flap. He calls the Engineer in to unlock the book and once its unlocked they see the Bible is in braille. Eli is blind. A focus on his eyes reveals that they have been dead since the Flash and that he has been traveling, fighting and reading through use of his other senses. Carnegie tries to get Claudia to read it but she cruelly lies and tells him that she’s forgotten how. She tells him that his leg stinks and that he’s feverish: signs of an infection. Meanwhile, Carnegie’s few remaining men are brawling and fighting each other, in his quest for the book, Carnegie has lost control. He collapses in despair.

In Alcatraz, Eli shaves all his hair and changes into a clean white robe. He recites the Bible to completion while Lombardi writes it down word for word. Eli dies from his gunshot wound but completes his task. In voiceover he utters one last prayer for Solara and the world before he dies. He is buried in Alcatraz’s courtyard garden. Lombardi places a newly typeset and bound copy of the Bible on a bookshelf. Solara pays her respects, takes the machete and iPod and leaves Alcatraz to return home.
