The Giver is a 2014 science fiction film directed by Phillip Noyce, based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Lois Lowry. The story is set in a dystopian society that has eliminated pain and strife by converting to 'Sameness,' a plan that has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas, a young man chosen to be the Receiver of Memories, discovers the dark secrets behind his community's fragile equilibrium and must make difficult choices to protect those he loves.
