Whether you love the video game or the new TV series, there's something in post-apocalyptic world of The Last of Us for everyone.
In The Last of Us, smuggler Joel Miller (portrayed by Pedro Pascal) finds himself escorting a teenage girl named Ellie Williams (portrayed by Bella Ramsey) across a ravaged United States after the outbreak of a mutated strain of the fungus Cordyceps which can infect humans and turn them into cannibalistic monsters.
Ellie, as it turns out, is immune to the Cordyceps infection and thus becomes key in the effort of creating a cure for the outbreak. Together, Ellie and Joel have to survive hordes of infected humans - runners, stalkers, clickers and other enemies - as they journey across the United States.
