Running Time: 132 min Genre: Action, Drama, Thriller Writer: Andy Wachowski (screenplay) (as The Wachowski Brothers) , Lana Wachowski (screenplay) (as The Wachowski Brothers) Director: James McTeigue Actors: Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, Rupert Graves Rated R Synopsis: 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.
