这部电影改编自小柯特·冯格尼特（Kurt Vonnegut Jr.）的哈里森·伯格朗（Harrison Bergeron）系列短篇故事，在2081年，那是一个反乌托邦的社会。由于宪法第212修正案的实行以及美国缺陷裁定将军的不断监督，所有人都显得很平等——强壮的人要负重；美丽的人要戴上面具； 聪明的人要戴上一种特制的听筒，里面会不断发出刺耳的噪音来干扰他们进行思考。A short film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, 2081 depicts a dystopian future in which, thanks to the 212th Amendment to the Constitution and the unceasing vigilance of the United States Handicapper General, everyone is "finally equal...." The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. It is a poetic tale of triumph and tragedy about a broken family, a brutal government, and an act of defiance that changes everything. Featuring an original score performed by the world-renowned Kronos Quartet (Requiem for a Dream) and narration by Academy Award Nominee Patricia Clarkson (Far From Heaven, Goodnight and Good Luck), 2081 stars James Cosmo (Braveheart, Trainspotting), Julie Hagerty (Airplane!, What About Bob?) and Armie Hammer (The Social Network).
