When Society Punishes Excellence

In a crumbling America, the once-mighty Taggart Transcontinental railroad struggles against mounting government restrictions and cultural hostility toward achievement. Dagny Taggart, the company's Operating Vice President, fights to keep trains running while her brother James plays political games. She forms an alliance with Hank Rearden, a brilliant industrialist who has created a revolutionary metal stronger than steel. Together, they battle a system designed to punish excellence. When Rearden faces prosecution simply for selling his metal to a customer of his choice, he defiantly declares: "I do not recognize anyone's right to one minute of my life." Meanwhile, the country's most productive citizens mysteriously vanish one by one, leaving behind only the cryptic question: "Who is John Galt?" As economic conditions worsen, the government responds with increasingly draconian measures - freezing employment, production, and trade - turning the country into an economic prison while claiming to serve "the public good."
