Films
The German TV network ZDF adapted the novel for a TV movie in 1982, under the German title Wir (English: We).[42]
We is heavily referenced in the 2023 sci-fi feature film 1984.
The novel has also been adapted, by Alain Bourret, a French director, into a short film called The Glass Fortress (2016).[43] The Glass Fortress is an experimental film that employs a technique known as still image film, and is shot in black-and-white, which help support the grim atmosphere of the story's dystopian society.[44] The film is technically similar to La Jetée (1962), directed by Chris Marker, and refers somewhat to THX 1138 (1971), by George Lucas, in the "religious appearance of the Well Doer".[45] According to film critic Isabelle Arnaud, The Glass Fortress has a special atmosphere underlining a story of thwarted love that will be long remembered.[46]
A Russian film adaptation, directed by Hamlet Dulyan and starring Egor Koreshkov was initially supposed to be released in 2021.[47] As of 2024 the film still has not been released.
Radio
A two-part adaptation by Sean O'Brien and directed by Jim Poyser was broadcast on 18 and 25 April 2004 on BBC Radio 4's Classic Serial.[48] The cast included Anton Lesser as D-503, Joanna Riding as I-330, Julia Routhwaite as O-90, Brigit Forsyth as U, Patrick Bridgeman as S and Don Warrington as R-13.

The Montreal company Théâtre Deuxième Réalité produced an adaptation of the novel in 1996, adapted and directed by Alexandre Marine, under the title Nous Autres.[49]
