Brand new factory sealed vhs tape is perfect for old school TVs as the image will fill your square screen. Pop-n-go retro video has no menus to mess with and the uncompressed audio is superior to its digital counterpart. The only thing about these movies is that they don't set them far enough off into the future. Here we have an example of how dated it is already since its supposed to be 2013. The dust clouds have settled after nuclear war, and scattered communities pick up the reins of civilization. There is no central government. Costner is a lone figure in the wilderness, friendly only with his mule, named Bill. They support themselves by doing Shakespeare for bands of settlers. Costner is unwillingly recruited into a neofascist army run by General Bethlehem (Will Patton). He escapes, stumbles over an abandoned U.S. Mail van, and steals the uniform, cap, and letter bag of the skeleton inside. At the gates of a settlement called Pineview, he claims he's come to deliver the mail. Building on his fiction, he tells the residents of a restored U.S. Government in Minneapolis. In a movie that proceeds with glacial deliberation (epic 3 hours long), the POSTMAN becomes a symbol for the survivors in their struggling communities. It is clear that the Postman and Bethlehem will sooner or later have to face each other in battle.
