Atlas Shrugged, Part 1 is a 2011 motion picture adaptation of the first third of Ayn Rand's novel of the same name. Instead of setting the film in the period of the original novel, this film sets it in an America of 2016, after five more years of the administration of Barack H. Obama (presumably to be renamed Mr. Thompson). This film demonstrates the predictive value of Atlas Shrugged as prophecy, in that its opening scenes include uncanny accurate depictions of actual events that took place six months after the film's theatrical release.
