Based on the classic book of the same name, Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian drama depicting a bleak future where history is rewritten and “firemen” burn books.
Michael B Jordan plays Guy Montag, a firefighter who goes about his duties without questioning authority. However, all this changes when an unexpected incident makes him challenge his convictions. He ends up stealing a book for himself, which leads him to cross paths with a woman who might be part of the underground resistance of book lovers. The movie also stars Michael Shannon, Sofia Boutella, Lilly Singh, Grace Lynn Kung, Andy McQueen and Martin Donovan.
In a time when fake news spreads like wildfire, it’s safe to say that an updated adaptation of the classic novel was needed. The HBO film is well acted and mesmerizing, highlighting how important cherishing and accumulating knowledge is in today’s ever-changing modern world. The adaptation also wins bonus points for including a social media angle.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
findershopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product.

When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
