About this product

Product Information

In a dark futuristic world, literature, reading, and independent thought have been outlawed. The government has gone so far as to employ a special league of firemen to burn all books on sight. But when one otherwise obedient fireman (Oskar Werner) meets an intriguing revolutionary (Julie Christie), she provokes him to question the legitimacy of his actions. Tensions mount when he blatantly transgresses the very laws he's employed to enforce, and his terrified wife becomes an informant. Because the subject of censorship seems to be perpetually contemporary, one can argue that the significant social impact of FAHRENHEIT 451 will forever be current. François Truffaut's film is based on the best-selling novel by Ray Bradbury.

  • Cult Classic Film about a Dystopian Future

    Classic Truffault cult film based on Ray Bradbury's 1953 book. This is an intelligent, thought provoking film that has become even more relevant today than when it was made in 1966. Although it differs in some ways from the book, this film version is a lot more faithful to it than the newer version. The film presents life in a society totally controlled by the government in which firemen, instead of fighting fires, have been sent out to burn all books in order to keep people from reading, encountering new ideas and thinking, which could result in political unrest and revolution. Mindless entertainment is provided by interactive wall units and citizens have become obedient, mindless, selfish and ignorant. Then the protagonist, Montag, a fireman, reads a book...

  • Reminded Me Of What Germany Must Have Been Like Under Hitler's Rule-Scary!

    I read good and bad reviews about this movie, but I enjoyed it. This film came out in the sixties, 10 yrs before George Lucas blew us away with the special effects of Star Wars. The futurist setting was above average . A fascist society were U have to hide Ur books, watch what U say to people, and a society were U can't trust friends, family, E.T.C.. It's scary to think about, but that can happen if the wrong person is in power. A great movie everyone should watch.

  • Very Good Movie!

    Very good movie. Brings the book to life. If you want to watch costumed action heroes then this movie probably isn’t for you.

  • 1st amendment rights

    social media sucks it was developed for this very kind of censorship, this movie comes across as some type of futuristic mind control but in reality it has always been here to one degree or another
