In a dystopian United States where leading innovators, ranging from industrialists to artists, refuse to be exploited by society, Dagny Taggart sees society collapsing around her as the government increasingly asserts control over all industry (including Taggart Transcontinental, the once mighty transcontinental railroad for which she serves as the operating executive), while society's most productive citizens, led by the mysterious John Galt, progressively disappear. Galt describes the strike as "stopping the motor of the world" by withdrawing the "minds" that drive society's growth & productivity. In their efforts, these "men of the mind" hope to demonstrate that a world in which the individual is not free to create is doomed, that civilization cannot exist where men are slave to society & government, and that the destruction of the profit motive leads to the collapse of society.Trailer HERE
