johnathanwinter noted the lead character's name is significant. Since some may not get it, here's some info from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah

Nope. It’s clearly THE book. The movie takes place in 2043, and mentions 30 years of winter, so that would make the “end of the world” the winter of 2012-2013. I suspect the Myans would get a good laugh out of all the apocalyptic crap that is so prevalent today.
BTW, I didn’t see Brit Hume’s name in the cast list.

As this movie is science fiction (or some kind of fiction), the book could be anything for the purpose of the story. But Denzel would likely be attracted to the story more if it were THE Book (as Aliens cleverly referred to it). Denzel and THE Man are tight...
Anyway, I'm interested in this one, primarily for Mr. Washington's contributions. He makes movies better than they otherwise might be--see "Ricochet" for a great example of a super performance in an otherwise insanely bad movie.

Well, the movie is called The Book of Eli, so I guess it's probably not referring to the Bible, but to either a book that was/is owned by an "Eli" (in which case it could be the Bible) or a book that was written by or about a personage or prophet (or even a deity) named Eli. "Eli" (more properly pronounced "Ay-lee") is the Hebrew for "My God," the words that Jesus cried out from the cross. See The Gospel According to Matthew 27:46 and Psalm 22:1 (22:2 in the Hebrew text).

eweiss, "Eli" is the name of Denzel's character. And apparently, the book he has that everyone wants is the Bible.
That reminds me of a superb scene from a movie called "The Apostle," directed by Robert Duvall. Billy Bob Thornton intends to drive a bulldozer through Duvall's church. Duvall stops him by putting the Bible in his path. Superlative acting in that scene, and a very tense and powerful dramatic moment. Highly recommended viewing.
