Douglas Trumball’s SILENT RUNNING
(G, 1972, 89 min)
Bruce Dern stars as Freeman Lowell, a space-bound botanist tasked with protecting Earth's last plants in a barren future. But when orders come to destroy the precious ecosystems, Lowell rebels—setting off a visually stunning and emotionally charged journey. With unforgettable robot sidekicks Huey, Dewey, and Louie, the film blends classic sci-fi with a powerful environmental message that still hits home today. With a haunting Joan Baez soundtrack and groundbreaking visuals, Silent Running isn’t just a movie—it’s a call to protect what we have before it’s too late. A must-see for fans of deep, meaningful sci-fi.
