ln 1968, visual effects pioneer Douglas TrumbuIl (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 later, he stamped his own indelible mark on the science fiction genre with his mesmerising directoriaI debut – Silent Running.
ln the not-so-distant future, Earth is barren of all fIora and fauna, with what remains of the planet’s former ecosystems preserved aboard a fIeet of greenhouses orbiting in space. When the crews are ordered to destroy the remaining specimens, one botanist, Freeman LowelI (Bruce Dern, The ’Burbs), rebels and flees towards Saturn in a desperate bid to preserve his own little piece of Earth that was, accompanied only by the ship’s three service robots.
Featuring a captivating centraI performance by Dern, visual effects that rivaI anything in 2001 and a powerfuI ecoIogicaI message, Silent Running is a haunting and prescient sci-fi classic that resonates even more strongIy today than it did at the time of its originaI reIease.
