A city is ravaged by an epidemic of instant "white blindness". Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hording the meager food rations and committing horrific acts. There is however one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble. Their voyage is fraught with danger, yet their survival and ultimate redemption reflect the tenacity and depth of the human spirit.

  • the book is much better

  • I thought this was a great movie. I heard a lot of associations for the blind protested it, claiming it was a negative portrayal of blind people, but I think they were missing the point. When everyone turns blind, there's no distinction between good and evil people, especially when they're all herded together into a prison-like facility with no laws. Basic "Lord of the Flies" mentality would likely take over some of the heartless people, who would try to seize power as The King of Ward 3 did.
