When people talk about the movie Atlas Shrugged, first thing that comes into their minds is the question: who is John Galt? Based on the Ayn Rand's book with a same name, Atlas Shrugged deals with lots of questions in the near future situation. This movie takes place in near future, in 2016, and the whole nation is in it's, up to now, worst recession. There are no jobs, almost everyone is on the street and prices are just going higher and higher. As they say, poor are getting poorer and rich are getting richer. The whole movie is recorded in luxurious mansions and locations in order to present how this inflation is affecting the rich people. The plot involves a blonde and pretty icy Dagny Taggart (Taylor Schilling), who has a family company and a business to run, gets across some of the worst obstacles ever. After the government makes a social paragraph and decides to put on lots of taxes on using the metal for updating the ageing tracks and save her business, Dagney gets in touch with Henry Rearden (Grant Bowler), who offers her big supplies of his Rearden metal, in order to get his superior metal on the market. At the same time, lots of corporate directors, CEOs and other men in position start disappearing mysteriously. But throughout the movie everyone keeps asking the question: who is John Galt.
