Pre-order: Zavvi
THX 1138 is the second release in the Sci-fi Destination SteelBook range. Each release includes a replica A3-sized theatrical poster.
The visionary first film from George Lucas in a director’s cut. 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).
