SILENT RUNNING

SILENT RUNNING (vt RUNNING SILENT, original title). Douglas Trumbull, dir. and SpFx. USA: Universal/Gruskoff, 1972. Bruce Dern, star.

Note the three cute little robots aiding the hero (Dern) in his effort to save an orbitting forest preserve (for stressed imagery of the containment of the organic within the highly technoloigcal, and the interaction of the human, nonhuman animal, vegetable, and robotic). Discussed by Sobchack in The Limits of Infinity (see Sobchack's Index).[1]
