The movie is Silent Running, but the hero, Freeman Lowell (played by
Bruce Dern) hardly deceides to destroy the pods.  In fact, he kills the
other human members of the crew when they are ordered to destroy the pods
and they attempt to comply. The sound track was by Joan Baez (sp.?). But
the real stars of this movie were the robots (called drones).  Very R2D2
like and very cute. And they came first.
