Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry leaks his day-to-day life's monotony by way of a daydream of himself like being a virtuous hero. Assessing an event that caused the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle, he meets with the woman from his daydream, also in attempting to help her becoming caught in a web of mistaken identities, dumb lies and bureaucracy.
