Theater Screening

This movie is based on a comic written by the legendary Alan Moore (From Hell, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Watchmen). A freedom fighter (or terrorist depending on your political leaning) played by Hugo Weaving wearing a Guy Fawkes mask is fighting back against the Orwellian government in England. Natalie Portman plays Evey, a girl he rescues from an assault and takes into his confidence. This movie couldn't have been released at a better time.
