In an alternate vision
of Britain 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.
