Equilibrium Movie
An anti-utopia/action by Kurt Wimmer presents the "perfect" world where any free-thinking as well as all the arts, books, emotions and everything related is forbidden being considered as a capital crime. This world is built as a conflict-free society after the devastating Third World War, the monocratic Father and the Tetragrammaton have established the dictatorship over the Libria, a futuristic city-state. Human emotions are suppressed by voluntary injections of the "prosium", a preparation which helps the System to control its citizens. John Preston (Christian Bale), a government special agent is also under the influence of this drug, but when he forget to take a doze, he accidentally hear the fragment of the Beethoven's Ninth Symphony seeing the sunrise and discover himself unable to be a pawn of the System anymore as his emotions awake.
