George Orwell's "bleak and uncompromising vision of the ultimate totalitarian nightmare" is brought to life in this stunning adaptation of the infamous novel, directed by Michael Radford and featuring brilliant performances by John Hurt and Richard Burton (in his final film role).
Winston Smith (Hurt) endures a squalid existence in totalitarian Oceania under the constant surveillance of Big Brother. But his life takes a horrifying turn when he begins a forbidden love affair and commits the crime of independent thought. Sent to the chillingly labelled 'Ministry Of Love', he is placed at the mercy of O'Brien (Burton), a coolly treacherous leader determined to control his thoughts... and crush his soul.
