THX-1138 (1971) Directed by George Lucas Rated R
This film, shot on location in the future, follows the flight of fugitive Robert Duvall from the point of view of the police state. In the video labyrinth, good citizens are drug-addled and empty because emotional attachment is a crime. But why? Despite the bleak set-up, there is a strange sense of humor embedded in the hopelessness. Can you spot the prisoner who speaks in Nixon speeches? One of the first independent American films of the modern era was also the directorial debut of the man behind Star Wars.
