V for Vendetta is the story of a masked anarchist terrorist named V and of his unwilling accomplice, Evie Hammond. The two live in London in the near future under an authoritarian regime that came to power through fear tactics, bio-terrorism, and other thuggish maneuvers. V aims to exact revenge for his own imprisonment by the regime and for the homophobic and racist purges that killed thousands around the country.
