 +The story is set in the near future (approximately 2038) with Britain ruled by a totalitarian regime called Norsefire. It follows Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman), a young woman who is rescued from the Fingermen (secret police) by a masked vigilante known as "V" (Hugo Weaving). After rescuing her, V takes Evey to a rooftop location to witness his spectacular destruction of the Old Bailey. The regime explains the incident to the public as a planned demolition, but this is shown to be a lie when V takes over the state-run TV station later that day. V broadcasts a message urging the people of Britain to rise up and stand with him at the Houses of Parliament on November 5, one year from that day. V implies that on that date he will destroy the Houses of Parliament.
 +Evey, who works at the British Television Network, helps V escape. V takes Evey to his lair, the Shadow Gallery, where she is told she must stay in hiding with him for her own safety. Upon learning that V is killing government officials, she is horrified and disgusted with V's actions, vowing to escape from V. In an effort to escape from the Shadow Gallery, she briefly explains her past to V and inquires as to whether there is anything she could do to help. Later, he devises a plan to infiltrate the bedroom of a lecherous bishop, requiring Evey's assistance. Evey attempts to betray V's plot to the bishop, but he doesn't believe her. After V appears, Evey escapes to the home of a superior from BTN, Gordon Deitrich (Stephen Fry), who reveals to her that he is a closet homosexual and collector of banned art and literature. When Gordon makes a last minute change to a TV program he is hosting, satirizing the High Chancellor, the Fingermen raid Gordon's home, attack and arrest Gordon, and Evey is captured. She is incarcerated and tortured for days, finding solace only in the notes left by a previous prisoner named Valerie, who was imprisoned and persecuted for being a lesbian. Evey is told that she will be executed unless she reveals V's whereabouts or identity; she declares that she would rather die, and finds herself released. Evey discovers that she has been in the Shadow Gallery all along, her imprisonment staged by V. By forcing Evey to endure something similar to what he had endured at Larkhill detention center, V hoped that Evey would understand that "integrity", "the very last inch of us", is more important than our lives. Evey initially hates V for what he has done, but comes to realize that the experience allows life without fear. She leaves V, promising to return before November 5.
 +
 +Meanwhile, Inspector Finch (Stephen Rea), investigating V, learns how Norsefire came to power, and about V’s origins. 14 years previously, Britain suffered from war and terrorism. The ultra-conservative Norsefire party led a reactionary purge to restore order; so-called enemies of the state disappeared overnight. The country, deeply divided over the loss of freedom, found itself united by a bioterrorist attack that killed about 100,000 people. The fear generated by the attack allowed Norsefire to silence all opposition and win the next election by a landslide. A cure for the virus was discovered soon thereafter. With the silent consent of the people, Norsefire turned Britain into a bigoted totalitarian order, with their leader Adam Sutler (John Hurt) as High Chancellor. However, the viral catastrophe was itself engineered by Norsefire as a ploy to gain power. The virus had been engineered through deadly experimentation on "social deviants" and political dissidents at Larkhill detention center. V had been one of the prisoners, but rather than being killed by the experiments he gained heightened mental and physical abilities. V was the only survivor among the 48 included in the experiment, eventually escaping the center by blowing it up from his cell, vowing to take revenge on Norsefire's regime.
 +
 +As November 5 nears, V's various schemes cause chaos in Britain, as the population grows more and more rebellious and subversive toward government authority. On the eve of November 5, V is again visited by Evey, and shows her a train which he has filled with explosives in order to destroy Parliament via the abandoned London Underground. He delegates the destruction of Parliament to Evey, believing that the ultimate decision should not come from him. V departs to meet Party leader Creedy, who has agreed to deliver the Chancellor to V in exchange for V's surrender: V had manipulated Finch into putting heavy police surveillance on Creedy, and fooled Creedy into thinking that Sutler had ordered it, preparing for Creedy to take the blame should Sutler's regime ever fall. Creedy kills the Chancellor in front of V, but V does not surrender, instead killing Creedy and his men. V, mortally wounded by gunfire, returns to Evey. He thanks her, professes his love for her but (as in The Count of Monte Cristo) professes a greater love for revenge, before dying. His body is placed upon the train with the explosives, reminiscent of a Viking funeral.
 +
 +Evey is about to send the train down the track when she is discovered by Inspector Finch. Finch, having learned much about the corruption of the Norsefire regime, allows Evey to proceed. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Londoners, all wearing Guy Fawkes masks, march on Parliament to watch the event. Because Creedy and the Chancellor are dead, the military stands down in the face of a civil rebellion. The Houses of Parliament are destroyed by a series of explosions. On a nearby rooftop Evey and Finch watch the scene together and hope for a better tomorrow.
