Spoilers ahead
In a dystopian future, Britain falls under the oppressive rule of the Norsefire political party, a totalitarian regime led by High Chancellor Adam Sutler. This regime manipulates the populace through relentless propaganda and eradicates anyone deemed undesirable, such as immigrants, homosexuals, and individuals with differing beliefs.
The story follows Evey Hammond, whose childhood was shattered when her activist parents, fighting against the regime, were imprisoned and died when she was just twelve. Evey’s life takes a drastic turn when, one fateful evening, she is rescued from an attack by the secret police, known as the Fingermen, by a masked vigilante called V. This cryptic figure not only saves her but also introduces her to the world of rebellion by detonating the Old Bailey, a symbol of the regime’s power.
