The name of the movie is indeed "Silent Running". If my memory is
correct
(and I can correct or verify any of the following info later), The movie
was ment as a kind of social statement, eccology and all that. I think,
(mind you I'm 
not sure), that "Silent Runing" was started out as a project for a
college film class. I'm fairly sure it was done on a tight bugget, but
you couldn't tell from
the quality, or I couldn't. If your'e wondering why, here's part of it.
All of the
interior sets,(except the domes), were done on an old aircraft carrier.
           
Hear's a small bit of worthless information, :-> the sound track was
rereleased a couple of years ago (pressed on transparent green vinyl no
less). I think its still available, though hard to find.

 Personally I liked the film. Iwould also add my reccomendation to see
it.

Here's a couple of trivia questions for those of you who've seen "Silent
Running"


1) Who is the artist who did the title track?

2) How do the drones work?
