The poster is drawn in a grainy sepiatone which evokes old political advertisements. At the center of the poster, the film's protagonist, Evey (a white woman with a shaved head, portrayed by Natalie Portman), glares with determination off to the left side of the poster. To her left, a mob of people clashes with riot police as the British parliament burns in the background. To her right, the character V (a man in a black cloak, a wide-brim black hat, black latex gloves, and a white Guy Fawkes mask over his face, portrayed by Hugo Weaving), looms menacingly with a knife pointed down towards the title of the movie, which slants diagonally down the bottom of the poster. In the top left corner of the poster, the tagline of the film "Freedom! Forever!" is imposed in diagonally slanted text over a red graffiti circle with the letter "V" in the middle of it.
