In 1605, vigilante Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the British Houses of Parliament. In 2020, a futuristic Britain is run by a fascist dictator who promises security, but not freedom. On the eve of Guy Fawkes Day (November 5), a young woman is rescued by a freedom fighter masked as Fawkes and known only as “V,” beginning a relationship that draws the attention of the secret police. The film is adapted from David Lloyd’s 1982 graphic novel of the same name, and stars Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.
