This is a fictional political horror film. In the year 1984, after a series of wars and mergers, there are only three superpowers left in the world—Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. Winston (played by John Hurt) lives in Oceania under the rule of Big Brother, where, like the other two countries, telescreens (a type of monitoring device similar to a television) are installed everywhere, and everyone lives under the surveillance of the Party's Thought Police, with history being rewritten daily to suit the Party's needs. Although unable to articulate why, Winston, an outer Party member, has a deep-seated loathing for Big Brother. One day, he secretly buys a notebook from an old grocery store—principally the Party does not allow writing diaries or expressing personal thoughts—and begins to write. As he and Julia (played by Suzanna Hamilton), who works in the Ministry of Truth, start a secret affair that violates Party policy, the Thought Police silently target him.
