Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

In a bleak, dystopian future, where independent thought has been relinquished and books are vilified, we meet Guy Montag, an obedient firefighter. Tasked by a totalitarian government, his duty is not to extinguish fires but to ignite them, burning books and the freedom they represent at a blistering 451 degrees Fahrenheit—the temperature at which paper combusts. Montag's world is a lonely, sterile existence, punctuated only by the numbing drone of wall-length television screens, the only source of information in this oppressive society. Montag's wife, Linda, epitomizes this new world order. Sedated into complacency, she is a cog in the machine, glued to "The Family," an interactive television show that has replaced genuine human connection. But the wind of change blows into Montag's life with the arrival of Clarisse, a defiant woman who treasures books rather than fears them. Curiosity piqued, Montag dares to steal a book, a decision that drastically alters his perception of life. His newfound love for the written word and his growing affection for Clarisse prompts him to question the government's fear-driven motives behind the book-burning. As Montag teeters on the edge of rebellion, he must make a perilous choice—return to his duty, burn the books, and continue living in ignorance, or flee, risking the severe consequences of defying the regime. In the chilling world of "Fahrenheit 451," rebellion is a dangerous game, and knowledge is the most potent weapon.

Fahrenheit 451 is a drama movie featuring Julie Christie.
