Nineteen Eighty-Four

1984·Movie·R·113 min·6.8(1,652)

George Orwell's terrifying vision comes to the screen.

Winston Smith is a government employee whose job involves the rewriting of history in a manner that casts his fictional country's leaders in a charitable light. His trysts with Julia provide his only measure of enjoyment, but lawmakers frown on the relationship -- and in this closely monitored society, there is no escape from Big Brother.
