Divergent (2014) is a dystopian science fiction film directed by Neil Burger, based on the bestselling novel by Veronica Roth. The story is set in a future society where people are divided into five distinct factions based on their dominant personality traits: Abnegation (selflessness), Amity (peacefulness), Candor (honesty), Dauntless (bravery), and Erudite (intelligence). At the age of 16, every citizen must choose which faction to dedicate their life to, based on an aptitude test.

The protagonist, Beatrice “Tris” Prior (played by Shailene Woodley), discovers that she is “Divergent,” meaning she doesn’t fit neatly into any one faction, a secret she must keep to avoid danger.

Tris chooses to join Dauntless, the faction of brave warriors, where she meets her instructor, Four (Theo James), and faces intense physical and mental challenges. As she learns more about herself, Tris uncovers a conspiracy led by the power-hungry Erudite faction, threatening the entire society.

The film combines action, romance, and intrigue, exploring themes of identity, societal control, and rebellion. Divergent is the first installment in a film series, following Tris’s journey as she challenges the system and fights for survival.
