V for Vendetta: Synopsis
The Fifth of November The gunpowder treason and plot I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot ![]() Profoundly complex, V is at once literary, flamboyant, tender and intellectual, a man dedicated to freeing his fellow citizens from those who have terrorized them into compliance. He is also bitter, revenge-seeking, lonely and violent, driven by a personal vendetta.
In his quest to free the people of England from the corruption and cruelty that have poisoned their government, V condemns the tyrannical nature of their appointed leaders and invites his fellow citizens to join him in the shadows of Parliament on November the 5th - Guy Fawkes Day.
![]() In the spirit of that rebellion, in remembrance of that day, V vows to carry out the plot that Fawkes was executed for attempting on November 5th in 1605: he will blow up Parliament.
As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious past, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to ignite a revolution, bringing freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.

Did You Know?
The Steak Scene from 'The Matrix' - 'It's a good scene, giving you more insight into why Cypher would sell everyone out.
Plus, every time we did a take, they had to replace Cypher's steak and we got to eat the other ones. The steaks were...probably the best
in Sydney.'
- Phil Oosterhouse in 'The Matrix Shooting Script' |
