THX 1138
George Lucas gave the world advance notice of his formidable talent with his classic debut feature Thx-1138, adapted from his award winning short film with encouragement from Francis Ford Coppola.
Robert Duvall is Thx-1138, a humble worker in a soulless, sprawling subterranean society where each person has a number, not a name, sex is outlawed and laws are enforced by constant surveillance and sinister, silver faced androids. His discovery that there is more to life than the state-required drug stupor and the loss of his mate to a sinister technician finally gives him the courage to recover from his nightmare world.
