Notes:

Originally produced in techniscope as motion picture in 1971. "This early work grew out of Lucas' award-winning film school short of the same title, transformed to feature length largely through the encouragement of Lucas' friend and mentor Francis Ford Coppola."--Container.

Summary:

In the computer-run, subterranean world of the future, humans are so drug-induced that they are, at best, conditioned automatons. Everyone dresses the same and order is maintained by mechanical robots. Yet to live is to hope, and after a dramatic escape from a terrifying surreal prison, THX 1138 stands in the open air of a new age, bewildered, but triumphant.
