The Gist: In an unidentified future, enormous greenhouses floating in space hold what’s left of Earth’s flora. A handful of astronauts are tasked with their care until they receive orders to blow them up and return home.
The Bottom Line: While the visual effects and sets do show their age Silent Running’s message is pretty much timeless and well told. Bruce Dern does a very nice job of playing a man torn between following orders and doing what’s morally right.
