Atlas Shrugged Imdb
Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is a mystery novel depicting “the day after tomorrow,” in which the great minds of society decide to withdraw their efforts from the world. The title is a reference to the Greek myth of, who carries the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. The novel centers on Dagny Taggart, the head of a major railroad company who struggles to produce even as her company is being crippled by collectivist government regulations. The novel portrays the industrialists, scientists, producers, artists, and philosophers who have gone missing, resulting in disastrous effects on the world at large.Ayn Rand claimed to write the novel with the hope that it would change what she saw as America’s swift march towards dystopia. Now, it’s been over 50 years since the eerily prophetic Atlas Shrugged was first published, and it’s more popular now than ever, selling hundreds of thousands of copies every year.
