'''''A Boy and His Dog''''' is a 1975 American science fiction post-apocalyptic black comedy film set in the then futuristic year of 2024. The movie has achieved cult status over the years since it's release. The screenplay is based on a 1969 novella ,and a couple short stories, written by Harlan Ellison in the late sixties. The movie stars a young [[Don Johnson]] as an 18 year old amoral teenager called Vic and his telepathic dog; Blood (voiced by [[Tim McIntire]]). The duo roams a world devastated by a massive nuclear war that took place in 2007. The movie was written, produced and directed by actor [[L.Q. Jones]]. Both the movie and the stories (in addition to Ellison's 1968 Hugo winning short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream") are believed by some movie scholars to have been a source of inspiration for director [[James Cameron]] when he wrote ''[[The Terminator]]''.
