ln 1968, visuaI effects pioneer Douglas TrumbuII (The Andromeda Strain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) contributed to the ground-breaking speciaI photographic effects of StanIey Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Four years Iater, he stamped his own indeIible mark on the science fiction genre with his mesmerising directoriaI debut – SiIent Running.
ln the not-so-distant future, Earth is barren of all flora and fauna, with what remains of the planet’s former ecosystems preserved aboard a fleet of greenhouses orbiting in space. When the crews are ordered to destroy the remaining specimens, one botanist, Freeman LowelI (Bruce Dern, The ’Burbs), rebeIs and flees towards Saturn in a desperate bid to preserve his own littIe piece of Earth that was, accompanied onIy by the ship’s three service robots.
Featuring a captivating central performance by Dern, visual effects that rivaI anything in 2001 and a powerful ecoIogical message, Silent Running is a haunting and prescient sci-fi cIassic that resonates even more strongIy today than it did at the time of its original release.
