World War III's nuclear strikes on the U.S. have set the nation back 200 years. Money holds no worth, food is impossible to find, and hope is all but lost when every survivor of the war is infected by a fatal nuclear plague. Deadland is a post-apocalyptic tale of an ordinary man, Sean Kalos, driven on only one purpose: to find his missing wife in the new United Provinces. What was designed to be the new rebirth has become martial-law, and the Officers of the Province wield their power with cruelty. When Sean crosses them, he finds himself in the middle of a personal war, and his search for his wife dominoes into what could be the revolution the survivors have been waiting for. Filmed almost entirely in Georgia, the film's scope belie the independent film budget showing that you don't need Hollywood budgets to make gripping sci-fi action entertainment.

Great cinematography and exceptional performances from a few actors (the rest were hobbled by their own script). All the traditional post-apocalyptic elements were there; the militant scavengers, the rebels, the plague and its cure; but somehow they didn't add up to an enjoyable 2 hours. The flashbacks offered unnecessary answers to unasked questions, (and subjected the audience to eye-rollingly silly dialog from the love-interest), the villains were overly-simplistic, the audience-favorite character was dissed with an off-camera death, the hero didn't even save the day (all he did was not die), there were a few too many characters (all of which the audience is supposed to give a damn about), and (worst of all) the opening action sequence tricked the audience into the false belief that there were more (or at least varied) action sequences on the way.
