Future World: Silent Running

on BBC Two England

starring Bruce Dern
Cliff Potts
A space station in the year 2001: four men are searching in space for forests, animals and fruit to refurbish a devastated Earth. But after eight years they are called back. Only Freeman Lowell is unhappy and decides that the mission must succeed ... This extraordinary and often beautiful film about a man's mutiny to save Earth has become a cult work in the science fiction genre blending comedy and visual brilliance in its timely message about the future of a mankind that is ecologically uncaring.
Written by DERIC WASHBURN. MIKE CIMINO. STEVE BOCHCO
Produced by MICHAEL GRUZKOFF Directed by DOUGLAS TRUMBALL
