Set
against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V for Vendetta
tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman)
who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known
only as “V”. Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art
of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he detonates two
London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging
his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey
uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers
the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination
of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with
cruelty and corruption.

Based
on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and artist David Lloyd, V for Vendetta

V For Vendetta is directed by James McTeigue, who served as First Assistant Director on two Matrix films and Star Wars: Episode II and Episode III .

While the film has had its share of controversy and problems before its release, it continues to gain momentum due to its subject matter. |
