Description
"Winston Smith (Hurt) endures a squalid existence in totalitarian Oceania under the constant surveillance of Big Brother. But his life takes a horrifying turn when he begins a forbidden love affair and commits the crime of independent thought. Sent to the chillingly labeled 'Ministry of Love, ' he is placed at the mercy of O'Brien (Burton), a coolly treacherous leader determined to control his thoughts-- and crush his soul"--Crime and punishment is a modern day interpretation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's timeless classic. Crime and punishment is one man's search for the true meaning of this existence. But while enlightened by his revelations, he is ultimately and tragically unable to elude his destiny.
