The following are compiled from press materials. Review quotes are taken from online sampling. Atlas Shrugged, Part I This adaptation of Ayn Rand's 1957 objectivist novel "tells the first installment in the story of a dystopian future in which a collectivist society has forced the great thinkers of the world to go on strike, leaving the functioning world without scientists, engineers, philosophers, or artists," according to an online synopsis. "Set against this stark backdrop, a railroad heiress named Dagny Taggart (Taylor Schilling) tries to bring her failing company back from the brink with the development of a new alloy to repair breaks in the lines, and hopefully calm the business' vital corporate partnership with an oil company.

It's 2004. TVs everywhere are blasting either Dubya's empty bromides or John Kerry's narcotic drone. Square-jawed war veteran Tommy Lee Jones gets a phone call bearing news that his soldier son, just back from Iraq, has gone mysteriously AWOL.
