The year is 2024. The few survivors who remain above ground must forage and fight for food, clean water, clothes, weapons, ammunition, and women. Of these necessities, women are the rarest; most survivors are male because while the males were off fighting in the wars, their enemies bombed and destroyed their homes. The main character Vic ( Don Johnson), an 18-year-old boy born in 2006 in the ruins of Phoenix, Arizona is focused on stealing food and fulfilling his sexual needs. He is accompanied by a well-read and wise-cracking telepathic dog named Blood (voiced by Tim McIntire), an “experienced female provider” through the use of his advanced senses of smell and hearing. Vic and Blood have a successful working partnership as they scavenge across the deserts of the Southwestern United States, stealing for a living and evading bands of roving marauders, berserk androids and mutants and when Vic finds a place that has escaped the devastation of the war, he also finds some rather odd attitudes. A Boy And His Dog (1975) is based on a post-apocalyptic novella by Harlan Ellison and was honored with a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and a Best Actor Golden Scroll to Don Johnson from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.
