English Summary:

Land of the Blind is a 2006 British-American drama film starring Ralph Fiennes, Donald Sutherland, Tom Hollander and Lara Flynn Boyle.

Land of the Blind is a dark political satire, based on several incidents throughout history in which tyrannical rulers were overthrown by new leaders who proved to be just as bad, if not worse, and several such cases are alluded to. The title is taken from the saying, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Land of the Blind had its world premiere in competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and was the Opening Night Gala film at the 2006 Human Rights Watch Film Festival in London. Its U.S. premiere was in competition at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. The film sparked intense reaction during its festival run, attacked by both left and right, each of which saw the film as a critique of its position.

Hungarian Summary:

A történet egy képzelt országban játszódik, amely feltűnően hasonlít Nagy-Britannia és az Egyesült Államok "keverékéhez". Televíziós- és filmsztárok kormányoznak, az elnök pedig a szado-mazochista Max, aki az ország pénzét ízléstelen akciófilmekre költi. Mindeközben Thorne, egy maroknyi felkelőcsapat vezetője, aki véget akar vetni ezeknek az állapotoknak, börtönben sínylődik és rendszeresen kínozzák.
