In an American future where the media is an opiate, internet bots control routines, history is truncated or rewritten, and celebrity "firemen" engage in televised search-and-destroy missions to burn books and bring their owners to justice, one zealous fireman begins to question his long-held assumptions about his life's work. Michael B. Jordan stars as the fireman who has been groomed to replace his captain (Michael Shannon). After meeting a young informant (Sofia Boutella), the fireman makes a dangerous decision to assist a group of underground "Eels" in their plan to preserve the contents of thousands of classic books, arts and culture.

Ray Bradbury is undeniably a sci-fi icon, but this adaptation turns a great concept into a heavy-handed, book-burning spectacle. If it weren’t for Michael Shannon, I probably would’ve turned it off much sooner.
