Guy Montag is a fireman whose job is to burn books, as reading is illegal. He begins to question this after meeting Clarisse and witnessing an old woman choose death over giving up her books. Montag starts secretly collecting and reading books himself. However, his wife Mildred turns him in for his illegal activities. Rather than burning the books, Montag kills his captain and flees the city with a group that has memorized books to preserve the stories. They then go to help survivors after Montag's former city is bombed in a war.
