Silent Running Standard Edition 4K Ultra HD presents Douglas Trumbull’s visionary 1972 sci-fi classic in a brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative by Arrow Films. A haunting ecological parable with groundbreaking visual effects, the film remains one of the most prescient and emotionally resonant science fiction works of its era.

 

In a future where Earth has been stripped of all plant and animal life, the planet’s last remaining ecosystems survive aboard greenhouse domes drifting in deep space. When orders arrive to destroy the forests and return home, botanist Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) refuses to comply. Accompanied only by three service drones, Lowell embarks on a lonely voyage toward Saturn, determined to preserve what remains of nature at any cost.

 

Featuring innovative effects supervised by Trumbull following his work on 2001: A Space Odyssey, a deeply human central performance from Dern, and a powerful environmental message that feels even more urgent today, Silent Running stands as a landmark of thoughtful, character-driven science fiction.
