See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a near-future America where the economy is collapsing under increasing government control and regulations, influential industrialists are mysteriously disappearing. The story follows Dagny Taggart, a railroad executive, and Hank Rearden, a steel magnate, as they fight to keep their companies productive and innovative against a system that punishes success. They struggle to understand the meaning of the question "Who is John Galt?"—a phrase that is becoming a symbol of defiance against a society that seems to be abandoning reason and achievement.
