Fahrenheit 451

In a dystopian future where books are banned and “firemen” burn any that are found, a young fireman named Montag begins to question his role in society. The film stars Michael B. Jordan as Montag and Michael Shannon as his superior, Captain Beatty, delivering compelling performances that drive the narrative. Directed by Ramin Bahrani, the movie explores themes of censorship and the power of knowledge. While it did not receive major awards, it offers a modern take on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel.
