The futuristic tale unfolds in a Great Britain that's a fascist state. A
freedom fighter known as V uses terrorist tactics to fight the oppressive
society. He rescues a young woman from the secret police, and she becomes
his unlikely ally.
Tells the story of Evey Hammond and her unlikely but instrumental part in
bringing down the fascist government that has taken control of a futuristic
Great Britain. Saved from a life-and-death situation by a man in a Guy
Fawkes mask who calls himself V, she learns a general summary of V's past
and, after a time, decides to help him bring down those who committed the
atrocities that led to Britain being in the shape that it is in.
Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For
Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey 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.
In the not too distant future, Britain is filled with torture cells, unfair
punishments, prejudice against minorities. However in the mist of all this
chaos, one man known only by the name V dares to stand up to the government
and is labeled as a terrorist. One night V rescues a mild young woman
called Evey Hammond and an unlikely bond between the two emerges which
results with Evey becoming Vs ally. But though V may be charismatic and
have a passion for justice he also is bitter and has his own personal
hatred of the government for something they did to him long ago. As
November the 5th, the day V says he and those who will follow him will
stand up to the government once and for all approaches, Detective Finch
becomes more and more determined to uncover the truth about V, however his
search leads him to ask to question whether or not he is on the right side.
In this obscure and Gothic tale, one attractive girl, Evey gets involved
accidentally in a terrorist attack, perpetrated by a masked and
megalomaniac character, V. V is following the same steps of Guy Fawkes, a
sort of terrorist of the XVII century, who wanted to blow up the English
Parlament in London. However, in the present time, the Orwellian London
lives under the fascist government of chancellor Adam, and V will fight
against his regime, using the power of powder, blowing up important
buildings. Evey will be chased by the secret police, thinking that she's
the accomplice of V, who will accomplish Fawkes' mission of destroying the
Parlament on the 5th of November, in this mixture of The Phantom of the
Opera, George Orwell's 1984 and Batman.
