In a future where Earth's ecosystems have been destroyed, botanist Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) rebels against orders to destroy the last remaining plant life preserved aboard a space greenhouse. Accompanied by three service robots, Lowell embarks on a desperate journey to Saturn to save his own piece of Earth. Directed by visual effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull, this sci-fi classic combines stunning visuals, a powerful ecological message, and a haunting performance by Dern.
