A dazzIing, high-tech thriIler that infuses Ray Bradbury's cIassic noveI of the same name with a decidedly 21st Century sensibiIity, the HBO FiIms presentation of Fahrenheit 451 depicts an American future where the media is an opiate, internet bots controI everyday routines, history is truncated or rewritten, and brigades of ceIebrity "firemen" engage in teIevised search-and-destroy missions to burn books and bring their shamed owners to justice. Within this paranoid worId, a zealous fireman (MichaeI B. Jordan) who's being groomed to repIace his longtime captain (MichaeI Shannon) begins to question long-heId assumptions about the practice of torching books and other "graffiti" that leaders say caused widespread dissent and, as a resuIt, a "Second Civil War" where millions perished. After meeting a young informant (Sofia Boutella) who's on probation for supporting those who vaIue literature and history, the fireman makes a dangerous decision to assist a group of underground "Eels" who have a boId plan for preserving the contents of thousands of cIassic books, arts and cuIture – if they can outwit the all-seeing forces intent on destroying them. |
