Join us for this retro screening of cult classic SILENT RUNNING (1972).
After the entire flora of Earth goes extinct, ecologist Lowell maintains a greenhouse of plants and animals aboard a space station for the future with his android companions. However, he rebels after being ordered to destroy the greenhouse in favour of carrying cargo, a decision that puts him at odds with everyone but his mechanical friends.
