START WATCHING AT CHAPTER 11

Truffaut, F. (Director). (1966). Fahrenheit 451 [Film]. England, United Kingdom: Vineyard Films.

Fahrenheit 451 is based on Ray Bradbury's novel about a futuristic society where reading is strictly forbidden and readers are hunted down by the authorities. In this narcissistic, mindless society, the function of the firemen is not to extinguish fires, but to safeguard the public's peace of mind by burning books. That is until one fireman, Montag, meets a young school teacher, Clarisse, who makes him wonder about the life he has accepted.
