A shadowy character who goes by the name V begins to fight against his totalitarian society in the manner styled after Guy Fawkes, who tried to blow up Parliment many years ago. But soon enough V's past becomes known, and his fight seems just after the government performed tests on him so they could use biological weapons on the people. Even with his intentions known the government will have no choice but to try and stop him, but could they do it in time before his plan can be executed, or will he be able to once again unite the people to take back their country.



I think that this has to be one of the best films I've seen that actually has a strange but positive message for people to believe in. Although this hero used violence to get his revenge and his plan was to destroy a major building of the British government, his real plan to unite the people under the believe that he was not just one person but everyone was the same as he is, that they all have a little bit of Guy Fawkes inside them.
