It was great to be alive, once, but the world was perishing. Factories were shutting down, transportation was grinding to a halt, granaries were empty--and key people who had once kept it running were disappearing all over the country. As the lights winked out and the cities went cold, nothing was left to anyone but misery. No one knew how to stop it, no one understood why it was happening - except one woman, the operating executive of a once mighty transcontinental railroad, who suspects the answer may rest with a remarkable invention and the man who created it - a man who once said he would stop the motor of the world. Everything now depends on finding him and discovering the answer to the question on the lips of everyone as they whisper it in fear: Who *is* John Galt? —Robb

Just terrible
As someone who tried many times to get through the original novel I thought I'd break down and try the movie. I'd like to understand. And I thought that after seeing this adaptation I would have the desire to go back and once again reread the book. But no. Not at all. This movie has done two things. Confirm why I hated the book. Made me hate it even more.
Film wise. Just terrible. I'm glad I didn't see it in the theatrics. The Lifetime channel produces epics compared to this. This is more than simply poor no name actors. More than poor cinematography (ie cameras on a tripod). I had hoped to be engaged. Just awful.
If you're not familiar with the book....stay away. You will neither enjoy or understand. Try the book instead....and good luck with that.
If there were one thing I could say positive about this film, or the book for that matter, it's this.........possibly better than the Left Behind books/movies.
