Z is for zachariah movie review

Written by Nissar Modi, it is based on the book of the same name by Robert C. O'Brien , though the plot differs in some significant ways. A nuclear apocalypse survivor Ann Burden lives out an agrarian life on her family's valley farmstead, sheltered from radioactive contaminants by rocky hillsides, favorable weather patterns, and an abundant ground-fed water supply. One day Ann encounters fellow survivor John Loomis, a highly skilled engineer, who, aided by medicines and a radiation suit, has traveled from a distant military bunker to the safe confines of Burden's valley. Loomis bathes in contaminated water, and immediately sickens, but is nursed back to health by Ann, who welcomes him into her farmhouse. Loomis regains his strength and gradually becomes part of Ann's humble rustic life. He helps Ann to pump diesel from local petroleum pumps and gets the farm's long-disused tractor running, hoping to stockpile food for the winter.
