Based on the 1951 Ray Bradbury novel of the same name. Guy Montag is a firefighter who lives in a lonely, isolated society where books have
been outlawed by a government fearing an independent-thinking public. It
is the duty of firefighters to burn any books on sight or said
collections that have been reported by informants. People in this
society including Montag's wife are drugged into compliancy and get
their information from wall-length television screens. After Montag
falls in love with book-hoarding Clarisse, he begins to read confiscated
books. It is through this relationship that he begins to question the
government's motives behind book-burning.
