Directed by the enigmatic Douglas Trumbull, best known for his pioneering special effects work on 2001 and Blade Runner, Silent Running stars Bruce Dern as an eco-astronaut tending the last surviving flora from a dying Earth with only three drone robots for company. When orders arrive to nuke the spaceship and destroy the forests, Dern becomes a warrior of conscience and conservation. Moving, dramatic, visually poetic and in its eco-message many years ahead of its time. When first released in 1971 this was dystopian fantasy but in the 21st century dawn it has become more of a shocking reality.</p> 9318500007162 <p>No extra details available for this item.</p> 3000000069097 <p>Frank Herbert's Dune adapted by the Sci-Fi Channel in 2000 as a four and a half hour miniseries over three parts.
