** In the book ''every'' male creature on New World has Noise, including the animals. In the film animals don't appear to have Noise, only human and Spackle men.
** Todd isn't under the impression that the Spackle were all wiped out in the war; the men frequently go out on Spackle patrols and Todd tries to ensure he and Viola stay away from Spackle villages.
** The inciting incident of the book is Todd stumbling across a patch of swamp that has no Noise and accidentally revealing this to the town; this never occurs in the film and the inciting incident is instead Todd finding Viola after the crash and helping her escape.
** Todd is never concerned about inadvertantly infecting and killing Viola with the germ that caused Noise, as in the film the Spackle are said to have killed the women in a direct assault and it's established that Noise is harmless to women early on (this isn't revealed until much later in the book).
** The battle on the bridge doesn't occur.
** The fight with Aaron occurs differently; [[spoiler:Todd isn't stabbed and Viola isn't kidnapped]].

Todd Hewitt (Holland) is one such survivor, living in Prentisstown under the leadership of the power-hungry David Prentiss (Mikkelsen), but everything changes when he meets Viola Eade (Ridley), a girl who crashlands on New World and is unaffected by Noise. Together, Todd and Viola uncover a dark secret that will change both their worlds.
