age 17+Before Star Wars, director George Lucas created this haunting vision of the future starring Academy Award winner Robert Duvall. In the 25th century, humans exist in a computer-controlled subterranean world where emotions are outlawed, mind-numbing drugs are mandated and no one has a name, only an alphanumeric designation. But one man, THX 1138 (Duvall), secretly resists his drug regimen and commits the cardinal crime against the state--he experiences love.
