As a "fireman", it is Guy Montag's duty to seek out and destroy books; the "conflicting ideas" in printed literature cause unhappiness and depression. He strikes up a friendship with a neighboring young woman Clarisse, prompting him to enjoy and hoard the very things he is paid to eliminate. Truffaut's first color film, and his only in the English language. Received a Hugo nomination for Best Dramatic Presentation.
