Atlas Shrugged: Part II (or Atlas Shrugged II: The Strike) is a 2012 American science fiction drama film serving as the second installment in a trilogy adapting Ayn Rand's 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged. Although it continues directly after Atlas Shrugged: Part I (2011), it features an entirely different cast. Directed by John Putch, the film stars Samantha Mathis, Jason Beghe, Esai Morales, Patrick Fabian, Kim Rhodes, Richard T. Jones, and D. B. Sweeney.
Atlas Shrugged: Part II was released on October 12, 2012. The film was largely panned by critics and was a box office bomb, grossing only $3.3 million worldwide against a $10 million budget. Despite Part II being a critical and financial failure, the final installment in the trilogy, Part III: Who Is John Galt?, was released in 2014, also featuring an entirely different cast.
