The government has hired a fireman for a special purpose. The job of the fireman is to start a fire rather than extinguish it. He just burns every book down which he finds along with the place where it is hidden. Guy Montag is told that books are the worst illegal things one can have in his possession so there is no other option except to destroy it quickly. After the day’s work Guy returns to his house where his wife is always busy watching television and has no time for him. For his wife television is everything and she does not need a family now.
Over time Guy meets Clarisse who shows him the other side of the world. It is a site where the books rule everything and are cherished as a source of life. Soon after this realization about books Guy becomes lonely when his wife commits suicide out of frustrations and Clarisse just goes missing without any reason. A mystery like The Martian Chronicles and Something Wicked This Way Comes is aroused with these two incidents.
The guy starts acting a little odd and then he is on collecting books which for him is the only source of life now. The books pile up so much in his house that the government comes to know all about it. After that it is a cat and mouse chase which Tim Robbins narrates.
