The story

Unlike the 1980 adaptation, this film discards a significant portion of the plot, some minor characters, and much of the philosophical underpinnings of the book. The alien invasion and the racial equalization were removed for this adaptation. The film takes place in a futuristic society, where a young man named George Orr overdoses using someone else's pharmacy card.
