Sam Lowry è un tecnocrate in una società futuristica che è inutilmente contorta e inefficiente. Sogna una vita dove può volare via dalla tecnologia, dalla burocrazia opprimente e trascorrere l'eternità con la donna dei suoi sogni. Cercando di correggere l'arresto illegittimo di Harry Buttle, Lowry incontra la donna che insegue sempre nei suoi sogni, Jill Layton. Nel frattempo, la burocrazia lo ha indicato come responsabile di una serie di attentati terroristici, e le vite di Sam e Jill sono in pericolo.
