What is Silent Running about? Toggle content

In a future where plant life on Earth has vanished, a lone botanist named Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) rebels against orders to destroy the last remaining forest on a space freighter. With the help of three service robots, Lowell hijacks the ship and sets off on a dangerous journey through Saturn's rings, determined to preserve the plants and animals he has sworn to protect. As he tends to his forest, Lowell begins to anthropomorphize the robots, Huey and Dewey, and the three form a peculiar family unit. This classic science fiction film, directed by Douglas Trumbull and featuring stunning visual effects, explores themes of ecology and human connection in a world where technology and nature are at odds.
