# The Last of Us — Opening Credits

A 79-second title sequence shot as a macro journey across fungal growth. Mycelium threads spread into a map of the United States, then the camera sinks to ground level, where two small figures stand in a field, and the title forms out of red fungus. Credits sit in small type in the corners, and a short HBO Max sign-up card closes the file.
