» IMDB.com

Orginally conceived by James V. Hart as a script for two seperate films, this is based on the first published in 1957 story which revolves around an economic collapse in the near-future United States as its top innovators and industrialists inexplicably disappear amid the growing power of politicians. The novel is also widely recognized for espousing Rand's philosphy of Objectivism, which advocates laissez-faire capitalism and self-sufficiency.

TRIVIA

For years, producer Al Ruddy tried to make Rand's book into a movie, attracting the interest of Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway.
