This is a fictional political horror film. In 1984, after a series of wars and mergers, the world is divided into three superpowers—Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. Winston (played by John Hurt) lives under the rule of Big Brother in Oceania, where, like the other two countries, telescreens (a kind of surveillance monitor similar to a TV) are installed everywhere, and everyone lives under the watchful eye of the Party's Thought Police; history is rewritten daily to suit the Party's needs. Despite not being able to articulate why, Winston, a peripheral Party member, harbors deep resentment for Big Brother. One day, he secretly buys a notebook from an old general store—writing in a diary is, in principle, not allowed by the Party as it expresses personal thoughts—and begins to write. When he and Julia (played by Suzanna Hamilton), who works at the Ministry of Truth, start a secret affair that violates Party policy, the Thought Police takes notice of him.
