I neveer saw the movie, but I remember reading a book by that name - post-apoc, a wanderer finds a USPS truck in the wilderness with an intact uniform on the driver's radiation-mummified corpse, takes the bag and letters aboard on a lark, then people see him wearing it and ask about mail from long-cut-off friends/relatives/etc., come back with letters to same and gice them to him plus supplies and trade goods as postage, ge figuees it's a good scam, why not, and does actually deliver some, a couple people want to be deputised to begin regular service locally and he runs with it and fakes up some official-looking paperwork and a ceremony, etc. and before he knows it he's catalysed a bunch of survivor settlements to form a new United States. Some kind of over-the-top nihilist-militia-psycho gang are the enemies, IIRC, and there was some really cool hippie pacifist that was actually a gengineered super-soldier or something. And a machine cult based around a supercomputer as oracle was in there too.
It was good enough that I still remember it at least, which is more than I can say for most post-apoc stories other than Mad Max.
