ln 1968, visuaI effects pioneer Douglas TrumbulI (The Andromeda Strain, CIose Encounters of the Third Kind) contributed to the ground-breaking speciaI photographic effects of Stanley Kubrick s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Four years Iater, he stamped his own indeIibIe mark on the science fiction genre with his mesmerising directorial debut SiIent Running.
In the not-so-distant future, Earth is barren of aII fIora and fauna, with what remains of the pIanet 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 LoweIl (Bruce Dern, The Burbs), rebels 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 centraI performance by Dern, visual effects that rivaI anything in 2001 and a powerfuI ecoIogical message, Silent Running is a haunting and prescient sci-fi cIassic that resonates even more strongly today than it did at the time of its original release. |
