Land of the Blind is a 2006 movie starring Donald Sutherland, Ralph Fiennes, Tom Hollander and Lara Flynn Boyle. It was first shown in the Tribeca Film Festival.

Land of the Blind is a dark political satire, based on several incidents throughout history in which tyrannical rulers were overthrown by new leaders who proved to be just as bad, if not worse, and subtle references are made to several such cases. For instance, in the second half of the movie, the law forcing women to wear burqas is a nod to Shah of Iran's replacement by the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Hollander plays Maximilian II, the demented fascist ruler of a troubled land named Everycountry. Maximilian has two main interests: tormenting his underlings and running his country's movie industry. The output of Everycountry's film studios under Maximilian runs to action-adventure schlock such as Out For Vengeance 4.

Maximilian II has proclaimed himself "president for life," which lasts only until guerrilla leader Thorne (Sutherland) leads a raid on the imperial bedroom as Maximilian and wife Josephine (Boyle) are engaged in a kinky sex game involving diapers and a ball gag.

Thorne shoots Maximilian and Josephine and becomes a ruler who governs as absolutely as the deceased Maximilian. Thorne encourages book burnings and sends Everycountry's professional class to grim re-education camps. Frightened females cower underneath burqa-like garments.

Ralph Fiennes plays Joe, a security guard working at the prison where Thorne is kept at the beginning of the movie. At this point, Thorne is a wreck, squatting in a shabby cell, enduring frequent beatings from the other guards and writing revolutionary slogans on the walls with his own feces. Maximilian later takes a risk by letting Thorne out of jail to serve as a government member to gain popular support. Joe, too, is later promoted as a guard of Maximilian's palace, and it is he who betrays Maximilian by letting Thorne and his followers into Maximilian's inner chambers.

Joe is hailed as a hero by Thorne; nevertheless, when Joe realizes that Thorne is just as bad as his predecessor, he refuses to ally himself with the new regime, for this, Thorne has him sent to a re-education camp.

New York Times reviewer Stephen Holden notes that Land of the Blind contains "profanity and scenes of torture and defecation."

Land of the Blind has received very poor reviews, with 0 positive reviews from "Cream of the Crop" critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
