At one town, the nomad is forced at gunpoint into the ranks of the Holnists, a neo-fascist militia, and is branded on his shoulder with their symbol, a figure 8. In 2013, an unnamed nomad enters the Utah flatlands, trading performances of long forgotten Shakespearean plays for food and water. It was nominated for three Saturn Awards but won all five of its Golden Raspberry Award nominations including Worst Picture. Released on Christmas of 1997 from Warner Bros., The Postman was a major critical failure and a box-office bomb, grossing a total of $20 million worldwide. Like the book, the film follows the story of a nomadic drifter (Costner) who stumbles across the uniform of an old United States Postal Service mail carrier, and unwittingly inspires hope through an empty promise of a "Restored United States of America" and starts his path to become a national hero. It is set in a post-apocalyptic and neo-Western version of the disestablished United States in the then near-future year of 2013, sixteen-plus years after unspecified apocalyptic events, followed by plagues, left a huge impact on human civilization and erased most technology. The film also features Will Patton, Larenz Tate, Olivia Williams, James Russo, and Tom Petty. The screenplay was written by Eric Roth and Brian Helgeland, based on David Brin's 1985 book of the same name. The Postman is a 1997 American post-apocalyptic action adventure film produced and directed by Kevin Costner, who plays the lead role.
