"Fahrenheit 451" is a 2018 dystopian film directed by Ramin Bahrani, based on the novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury. The movie is set in a future society where books are banned and "firemen" are tasked with burning any that are discovered. The story follows a fireman named Guy Montag, who begins to question his role in this oppressive society and becomes involved in a rebellion against the government.
The film stars Michael B. Jordan as Montag, as well as Sofia Boutella, Michael Shannon, and Lilly Singh in supporting roles. The movie was produced by HBO Films and aired on the HBO network.
While the movie received mixed reviews from critics, it was praised for its visual style and strong performances from its cast. The themes of censorship, government control, and the importance of free speech are as relevant today as they were when Bradbury's novel was first published in 1953. The film serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of authoritarianism and the importance of preserving our fundamental rights and freedoms.
