Atlas Shrugged is a trilogy of American science fiction drama films.
The series, adaptations of Ayn Rand's 1957 novel of the same title, are subtitled Part I (2011), Part II (2012) and Part III (2014); the latter sometimes includes Who Is John Galt?
The films take place in a dystopian United States, wherein many of society's most prominent and successful industrialists abandon their fortunes as the government shifts the nation towards socialism, making aggressive new regulations, taking control of industries, while picking winners and losers.

The trilogy received predominantly negative critic reviews[3] and the aggregate USA box office is just under $9 million, with each film performing worse than the last on both accounts.
