8.200000 2005 153 149,249 Based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore, V for Vendetta takes place in a vision of Britain in which an abusive totalitarian government has risen to 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, donning a mask of vilified would-be terrorist 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. Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot. 132 min Rated R for strong violence and some language. 0 tt0434409 Drama / Sci-Fi / Thriller Andy Wachowski / Larry Wachowski James McTeigue Silver Pictures Natalie Portman Evey Hugo Weaving V Stephen Rea Inspector Finch Stephen Fry Deitrich John Hurt Adam Sutler Tim Pigott-Smith Creedy Rupert Graves Dominic Roger Allam Lewis Prothero Ben Miles Dascomb Sinéad Cusack Delia Surridge Natasha Wightman Valerie John Standing Lilliman Eddie Marsan Etheridge Clive Ashborn Guy Fawkes Emma Field-Rayner Guy Fawkes Lover (as Emma Field Rayner)
