Michael Radford's 1984 adaptation of George Orwell's dystopian novel follows Winston Smith, a low-level Party member in a totalitarian state who secretly questions Big Brother. He embarks on a forbidden romance with Julia and navigates a claustrophobic world of propaganda, surveillance, and memory holes. As their rebellion deepens, the film crafts a stark meditation on truth, conformity, and the human cost of sustained political power.
