Equilibrium is a 2002 American science fiction film[3] written and directed by Kurt Wimmer, and starring Christian Bale, Emily Watson, and Taye Diggs. The film follows Bale as John Preston, an enforcement officer in a future in which feelings and artistic expression are outlawed, and a society where its citizens are forced to take psychoactive drugs to suppress emotion. After accidentally missing a dose, Preston awakens and begins to uncover the suspicious inner workings of the regime governing the totalitarian state.

Miramax Films released Equilibrium theatrically on December 6, 2002. The film was a critical and commercial failure, receiving unfavorable reviews and grossing only $5.3 million against a production budget of $20 million.
