THX 1138

THX 1138
by George Lucas
Country: USA
Year: 1971
Duration: 86'


In a future world dedicated to the production and consumption of goods, people live underground; they are controlled through the administration of drugs, alphanumerical codes have taken the place of names, and everybody wears uniforms. Even love has been banned. But THX and LUH stop taking the drugs and decide to escape to the surface. By developing his graduating short film, Lucas debuts on a low budget with a lucid example of Orwellian science fiction.
