A friend that i work with and I often discuss what it would be like if governments broke down due to a global nuclear war or whatever. We both agreed that gold would probably be the thing to have, since money would be pretty useless.
But after watching this movie, i think the thing to have would be food, and lots of weapons and ammo.
Anything else would be worthless.

If you like post-apocalyptic stories you might like the "Dies The Fire" series of books from SM Stirling.

The books take place after an "Event" that not only takes away our technology but also gun powder and combustion. Makes for a real interesting scenario.

Try Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. It's about a comet collision with the earth. I read it over 20 years ago so I can't say how well it holds up today, but it sure slapped me upside the head back then.

Movie was good but it was very depressing overall. Don't watch it if you are feeling down.

You can watch it if you're feeling too good and need a downer. If you watch it if you are feeling down, be sure to put away all sharp objects, rope, pills, guns and stay away from tall buildings for a while.

I enjoyed this film quite a bit. Most post-apocalyptic films are basically glorified rip-offs of The Road Warrior, but this one goes in a frighteningly realistic direction. It's extremely depressing and doesn't even have that uplifting hollywood ending to counter-balance it. I think it's one of those films that everyone should see, but don't expect a good time to be had by all.
