Daydreaming about being a good hero saving a beautiful lady in distress is a way for low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry to escape the routine of his daily life. He meets the woman from his daydream while looking into a case that led to the wrong arrest and death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle. While trying to help her, he gets stuck in a web of lies, dumb bureaucracy, and mistaken identities.
