Additional Information
In George Lucas's fascinating feature debut (based on his short student film), the young director creates a futuristic, underground world in which bald, dronelike 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, ala George Orwell's 1984. There are electronic confessionals for workers to admit to mistakes they've made, and THX uses these outlets 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 then that she is pregnant. Separated, 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 a little-known and vastly underrated sci-fi masterpiece. In an eerily prophetic moment, Lucas also predicts what people will be watching on TV in this future--news, sexually explicit films, and vapid comedy shows.

Engaging SF piece on identity
So so film for modern viewers but very futuristic for its time. Even featuring Donald Pleasance! Worth watching as it is by George Lucas, before Star wars

THX 1138 - A disturbing tale of an alternate existence
George Lucas's first film, THX 1138, is a distopian view of an alternate existence. A population kept drugged and perpetually watched by - who knows? There are some great locations used which are explained in the Extras disc, as well as interviews with George Lucas, Robert Duvall, and Maggie McOmie, amongst others. I thought it was great. Disturbing, but great. Although living in the 21st century might not be the utopia we all hope for, wherever THX and LUH exist is far worse.
