Deze dystopische sage volgt een mysterieuze anarchistische vrijheidsstrijder, bekend als V, die een revolutie leidt tegen een totalitair regime in een fascistisch Groot-Brittannië. Zijn methoden zijn radicaal, maar zijn visie op vrijheid resoneert met de onderdrukten. Het verhaal verkent de grenzen van vrijheid, identiteit en de kracht van ideeën in het aangezicht van tirannie. Het is een tijdloze reflectie op macht en verzet.
