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 fleet 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 littIe piece of Earth that was, accompanied onIy by the ship s three service robots.
Featuring a captivating central performance by Dern, visuaI effects that rival anything in 2001 and a powerful ecological 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 reIease. |
