The TV movie arrives this May.
Ray Bradbury's dystopian future comes to life on HBO this May with a modern adaptation of the iconic 1953 sci-fi novel.
"Starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon, Fahrenheit 451 is based on Ray Bradbury's classic novel. In a future where the media is an opiate, history is rewritten and "firemen" burn books, Jordan plays Montag, a young fireman who struggles with his role as law enforcer. Battling his mentor, fire captain Beatty, played by Shannon, he forsakes his world in an effort to regain his humanity."
