The Fountainhead background

The Fountainhead

A brilliant architect grapples with the tension between creative freedom and financial stability as he's forced to balance his artistic vision with the demands of a rapidly changing industry.

Architect Howard Roark is expelled from college for his unconventional designs, making him an unlikely candidate for employment. He finds a job with like-minded Henry Cameron, but Cameron's eventual death from excessive drinking serves as a warning to Roark that sacrificing his artistic vision could lead to a similar fate.
