"Special effects maestro Douglas Trumbull’s directorial debut feels more prescient with each passing year, which isn’t a good thing. “Silent Running” takes place in the not-too-distant future, where life on Earth has ceased to exist. Dern plays a botanist trying to keep the last existing vegetation alive in a space station greenhouse with the help of some robots. When he’s ordered to destroy the plants to make room for cargo, he rebels against the hierarchy to save nature. The film rises and falls on Dern’s capable shoulders, who’s often the only human onscreen. Deric Washburn, Michael Cimino and Steven Bochco penned the screenplay."
