1984 is a book written by George Orwell in 1949. It involved life under a dysfunctional, authoritarian government.
Generally required reading in American high schools, it's had an outside influence on everything from the first Apple Macintosh ad:

To the film version of V For Vendetta:

V for vendetta is the movie adaptation of 1984 ?
No, just heavily influenced by it.
It's the movie adaptation of the comic book V For Vendetta.

It’s also based off of a real event that (didn’t) happen.
You mean the gunpowder treason, which did happen or the Larkhill concentration camp (which was made up for the book.)
