Fahrenheit 451

Based On the book by Ray Bradbury

Fahrenheit 451 is a 1966 British dystopian drama film directed by François Truffaut and starring Julie Christie, Oskar Werner, and Cyril Cusack. Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury, the film takes place in a controlled society in an oppressive future, in which the government sends out firemen to destroy all literature to prevent revolution and thinking. The film received mixed reviews upon its release, but has since garnered critical reevaluation over the years. This was Truffaut's first colour film and his only non French-language film.
