A visually stunning and heartfelt riposte to the emotional
sterility of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, Douglas Trumbull's
eco-themed Silent Running (1972) became one of the defining
science-fiction films of the seventies. Bruce Dern excels as lonely
hero Freeman Lowell, cast adrift in deep space with three robotic
'Drones' who become his 'amazing companions' on a journey 'beyond
imagination'. Mark Kermode, writing on his favourite science
fiction film of all time, traces Trumbull's sentimental masterpiece
from its roots in the counter-culture of the sixties to its
enduring appeal as a cult classic in the 21st century. Drawing on a
new interview with Trumbull, Kermode examines both the technical
and thematic elements of this uniquely moving space adventure,
which continues to be mirrored and imitated by film-makers today.
This special edition features original cover artwork by Olly Moss.
