As an oppressive government attempts to seize control of a world on the brink of collapse, one woman makes a discovery that could put power back into the hands of the people in this sprawling adaptation of Ayn Rand's famous novel. As the economy buckles, unemployment skyrockets and the price of oil reaches an all-time high, the world's greatest minds all begin to disappear without a trace. But just when it seems as if all hope is lost, Taggart Transcontinental Vice President in Charge of Operations Dagny Taggart (Samantha Mathis) discovers a revolutionary motor that can harvest unlimited energy without the need for fossil fuels. But without the inventor to reveal all its secrets, the motor is useless. Now, as a tyrannical government rises, word of the radical new invention begins to spread and Taggart must race to find the one person who knows how to harness its power before it falls into the wrong hands, and all hope is lost.

The book Ayn Rand, about which I have already talked a lot in connection with the film "Atlas Shrugged: Part I", which is the first part of the film reviewed today, is something like a national treasure in America. Although we don't know the book, we can at least get to know it through this film series, which is supposed to be completed in 2014. Maybe a little against my will, the film has caught my attention to the point that I have secured a copy of the book. Since it is not available in Czech, I had to turn to English sources, which is usually not a problem because you can find everything in English. "Atlas Shrugged" begins with the following sentence: "Who is John Galt?" A crucial question that really starts to move the plot in the second part of the series. The name appears at the end of the film "Atlas Shrugged: Part I," but it is here that the mystery is crucial, what will focus your attention, what will make you keep watching and waiting for what comes next.
