  在一个家族传承的塔格特铁路公司,现任总裁为家族长子詹姆斯·塔格特,副总裁是达格妮·塔格特,兄妹俩为挽救公司岌岌可危的营运,想法与方法可说是南辕北辙,一位只是口头囔囔一些没有经过详细评估的墨西哥——圣赛巴斯蒂安支线的投资,却没有提出一丝一毫的规划与执行方案,常常以见不得别人成功的酸葡萄心态看待事情与诋毁他人;另一位是以“我是像一个饿疯了一样,去找任何一个能把事情做好的人!”为挽救塔格特铁路公司,与爱迪·威勒斯孜孜矻矻、焚膏继晷的努力工作,为顺利完成里约诺特的铁路支线,找上里尔登钢铁的汉克·里尔登合作,采用里尔登刚发明的新合金当铁轨,没想到成功营造出里约诺特的铁路支线,却是另一个不幸的开端。

  《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》是上世纪美国著名哲学家、小说家安·兰德的代表巨著,这位俄裔美籍小说家推崇理性,认为人的最高美德便是理性。她不顾传统舆论的偏见,力倡个人主义,认为不能使个人利益得到最大伸张的社会,就不是理想社会。她的客观主义哲学自上世纪50年代起便风靡美国校园,影响了几代美国人,她本人也成为美国青年崇拜的偶像。
  《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》是她最著名的一本小说,曾在美国社会产生巨大影响。书中宣扬金钱至上的思想,探讨了理性利己主义的道德性。1957年刚刚出版曾遭遇社会恶评,但却异常畅销,在美国的销售量仅次于《圣经》,并影响了当时社会的很多知识分子,甚至成为美国学生必读的课外书籍。

  非常棒的超现实科幻片,与<银色星球>很像,导演Alex Proyas后来还拍了那部著名的,这是他的处女作.以下地址有详细介绍和剧照:

  Like a dream, some things can only be experienced to understand
  This film has some of the most beautiful imagery and haunting music ever. (Not to overstate it or anything) A three hander set in a post apocalyptic Oz outback (but one which is wildly more fantastical than Mad Max), Spirits of the Air tells the story of Smith, a stranger on the run who happens upon Felix and Betty, far into the desert.
  All around them are amazing images of cars buried into the ground like totems, huge flags blowing madly in the desert wind and their house itself is of the old oz pioneer style but decorated everywhere with crucifixes. Felix is an inventor obsessed with flight and making a glider, an obsession which has already left him in a wheel chair. Betty is one of the truly great film characters, just an absolute tripper - I can't describe her but the performance is a delight.
  This is not a fast film, it is not action packed but is intense - the imagery and art direction are beautiful, the writing is distinct and very Australian but still universal, the soundtrack is haunting (a lot of windsound montages with a simple tune used to great effect) and the performances are both real and surreal.
  Until you see this film (and for those who have enjoyed the increasingly brilliant work of Alex Proyas, you really should) you won't know what you are missing.

  The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
