1984 (sometimes Nineteen Eighty-Four) is a British film based upon the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, released in the eponymous year in the United Kingdom, although not until 1985 in the United States.

The film was shot in London between April and June 1984 - as the closing credits point out, this was "the exact location and time envisioned by the author". It stars John Hurt as Winston Smith and Richard Burton as O'Brien, and was directed by Michael Radford. Suzanna Hamilton was cast as Julia. The film was Burton's last movie role and is dedicated to his memory. View entry &#0155;
