About The Last of Us:
In 2003, a parasitic fungal infection ravages the planet, turning humans into violent creatures known as the Infected. Twenty years later, hardened survivor Joel (Pedro Pascal) is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone in hopes of delivering her to the rebel Fireflies. But what should be a quick job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they traverse a desolate U.S. – while depending on each other's unique skills for survival. Created, written, and executive produced by Emmy® winner Craig Mazin (HBO's Chernobyl) and Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann, The Last of Us brings the acclaimed video game to life, painting a grim vision of the future of humanity – and the lives of those who would risk everything to save it.
