Atlas Shrugged: Part I is a 2011 film adaptation of Ayn Rand's 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged. The movie is directed by Paul Johansson and stars Taylor Schilling as Dagny Taggart, a powerful and successful railroad executive who is grappling with the challenges of keeping her company afloat while dealing with a society on the brink of collapse.
The story takes place in a fictional United States, where the government is imposing regulations and restrictions on businesses that are causing widespread economic decline and social unrest. Dagny, who runs Taggart Transcontinental, a large and successful railroad company, is determined to keep her business going despite the obstacles in her way.
As she works to maintain her company's viability, Dagny encounters a number of intriguing characters, including the mysterious and enigmatic John Galt (played by Grant Bowler), who seems to hold the key to saving her business and the country as a whole.
The film is an exploration of Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, which values individualism, rationality, and self-interest over altruism and collectivism. It presents a critique of socialism and government intervention in the economy, arguing that these policies lead to economic stagnation and social decay.
Overall, Atlas Shrugged: Part I is a thought-provoking and visually striking film that offers a compelling look at the challenges facing American businesses in an ever-changing world.
