Fahrenheit 451 is a 1966 film directed by François Truffaut, in his first colour film as well as his only English-language film. It is based on the novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury. The film starred Oskar Werner as Montag and Julie Christie, who was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role award for the dual roles of Linda (Mildred) Montag and Clarisse. In the future, a totalitarian government employs a force known as Firemen, to seek out and destroy all literature, permitting them to search anyone, anywhere, at any time. One of the Firemen, Guy Montag, begins to question the idea of book burning. One day, on his way home on the tram, he meets one of his neighbors, Clarisse, a schoolteacher whose job is hanging by a thread due to her unorthodox ways. The two have a discussion about his job, where she asks if he ever reads the books. Subsequently, he begins to hide books in his house, and — starting with Charles Dickens' David Copperfield— to read them. This leads to conflict with his wife, Linda, who is more concerned with being popular enough to be a member of "The Family" (an interactive television program that refers to its viewers as "cousins").
