About this product

Product Information

In George Lucas's fascinating debut feature (based on his short student film), the filmmaking wunderkind creates a futuristic, underground world in which bald, drone-like workers are forced to take drugs to regulate their moods and stifle their libidos. THX 1138 (Robert Duvall) and his mate LUH 3417 (Maggie McOmie) are factory workers, building the robotic police that keep order in their stark world. The soundtrack to their lives is a news service that continually lists information about factory accidents, as well as sex and drug crimes, ŕ la George Orwell's 1984. There are electronic confessionals where workers admit to mistakes they've made, outlets THX uses to express his unhappiness with his life. When LUH decides she and THX should stop taking their medication, their sense of humanity--and their desire and love for each other as a couple--is unleashed. It's not long, however, before they are imprisoned for this crime, and LUH learns that she is pregnant. Separated from LUH, THX embarks on a journey to find her, with the help of rebel SEN (Donald Pleasence) and hologram SRT (Don Pedro Colley), eventually attempting escape to the outside world.Combining complex editing and sound techniques with brilliantly subtle performances, THX 1138 is Lucas's less widely regarded vision of life in outer space, though it stands firmly as an awe-inspiring sci-fi spectacle. The film is also eerily prophetic, depicting a world in which television screens are bombarded with sensationalistic news, sexually explicit films, and vapid comedy shows.

    Not Bad for a Director's Cut

    Although Lucasfilm put some areas out of context with when it was initially released, thankfully, the keeping of the whole story intact made up for it. Plus having the original student film was huge for this release on DVD. I will for sure keep this as a reminder of how big this film is.

    Still great

    I watched THX 1138 many years ago before I knew what affect George Lucus would have on the old Flas Gordon & Buck Rogers shows I watched growing up in the '50s. He took SyFy to a great new level of believability. Then when saw this & found he used THX for the name of his sound company & the license plate on Harrison Ford's Chevy in American Graffiti I knew I eventually would buy this DVD & it was smart move. It's still great because of his film making abilities.

    Weird movie

    Had sound effect but movie was really far out there. Everyone was bald, and everything was white. I didnt care for it. If i had a word for it, it would be freaky.

    A timeless look into a dystopian future

    This movie has you on edge from beginning to end. It is frightening and creepy without a bunch of special effects and CGI

    A Must-have for movie Buffs

    As usual George modified it from the original cut with CGI Special Effects...but that's to be expected.
