Movie • 1985 •   

Report
Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle, he meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.

A dog is put into a serving dish at a restaurant but we see it again later so evidently it was just being put out of the way while they ate.

Guns are fired several times, and kids play with guns while pretending to be police. A character is shot in the head near the end of the film, while preparing to torture the main character.
