Synopsis

Dagny Taggart (Taylor Schilling) is head of the largest remaining railroad company in America -Taggart Transcontinental. She runs the company with intelligence, courage and integrity, in spite of the regular disappearance of her best and most competent workers.

Drawn to industrialist Henry Rearden (Grant Bowler), of Rearden Metal, Dagny Taggart finds that his intellect and commitment match her own, and holds the promise that innovation can overcome the slide into anarchy.

Using the untested Rearden Metal, they rebuild the critical Taggart rail line in Colorado and pave the way for oil titan Ellis Wyatt (Graham Beckel) to feed the flame of a new American Renaissance. Hope rises again, when Dagny and Rearden discover the design of a revolutionary motor based on static electricity…
