The Story

1984In his classic novel, Orwell describes a Totalitarian society in which the government - known as "the Party" - has almost complete control over the people. The supreme ruler is Big Brother. Posters announce "Big Brother is Watching You". Citizens are under 24-hour surveillance; inside every home is a Telescreen that cannot be turned off, droning endlessly with brainwashing propaganda while simultaneously transmitting sounds and pictures back to the dreaded Thought Police. Insidious Police Patrol helicopters dart among the rooftops, allowing police to snoop in people's windows.

1984 is about one man's personal battle to maintain his integrity and his individuality in the face of overwhelming odds.
