Bradbury’s
tale of a future without books comes chillingly to life in an adaptation by the
legendary author himself.  Firemen in
this futuristic world burn books and hunt down anyone who risks reading them.
Free-thought and intellectualism are discouraged, questioning authority is
dangerous, and the masses are spoon-fed a diet of interactive reality shows on
their huge TVs.  Montag, a fireman in
charge of burning the forbidden volumes, befriends a young woman who dares to
read. Suddenly a hunted fugitive, he must choose between safety and
intellectual freedom. The New York Times raved that Bradbury’s account
of “this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, is
fascinating.”
