Charlize Theron Hit 'The Road'

Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortensen arrived at the American Film Institute's premiere of 'The Road' on Wednesday's sparkling night.

Based on the Cormac McCarthy tale of a widower (Viggo) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee), the movie follows the two who struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Viggo, who was honored by the AFI at the event, said of his young co-star, "I felt such affection for the boy who I didn't know before this. Now he is like my son."

Charlize, who plays his deceased wife, looked perfect in metallic silver short height dress.

'The Road' will out on November 25.
