A chilling exploration of the future is also a compelling examination of the present in George Lucas's THX 1138, starring Robert Duvall as a man whose mind and body are controlled by the government. THX makes a harrowing attempt to escape from a world where thoughts are controlled, freedom is an impossibility and love is the ultimate crime. "The real excitement of THX 1138 is not really the message but the medium -- the use of film not to tell a story so much as to convey an experience. Stunning...dazzling... chilling and terribly powerful" (Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times).
