NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR 1984 (1984)

Based on George Orwell's 1949 book of the same name, Nineteen Eighty-Four, also known as 1984, is a 1984 British dystopian thriller film that was written and directed by Michael Radford. The movie, which stars John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, and Cyril Cusack, centers on Winston Smith, a low-ranking civil worker living in a war-torn London under the totalitarian control of Oceania. As the regime's overpowering power and influence persecute individualism and individual thinking on both a political and personal level, Smith (Hurt) battles to maintain his rationality and his grasp on reality.

The movie, which marked Burton's final performance on screen, is devoted to him. The movie received two Evening Standard British Film Awards for Best Art Direction and was shortlisted for a BAFTA Award for Best Art Direction.
