Based on the graphic novel by
Alan Moore,
V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate vision of Britain in which a corrupt and abusive totalitarian government has risen to complete power. During a threatening run in with the secret police, an unassuming young woman named
Evey (
Natalie Portman) is rescued by a vigilante named
V (
Hugo Weaving) -- a caped figure both articulate and skilled in combat.
V embodies the principles of rebellion from an authoritarian state, donning a mask of vilified would-be terrorist of British history
Guy Fawkes and leading a revolution sparked by assassination and destruction.
Evey becomes his unlikely ally, newly aware of the cruelty of her own society and her role in it.
