THX 1138
Vidiots remembers the life and legacy of the remarkable Robert Duvall with a special screening of the dystopian cult classic THX 1138.
Join us for George Lucas’ dystopian debut feature film, the evocative and unnerving THX 1138. Adapted from Lucas’ student film, this bleak science fiction cult classic imagines a world where free will and love are outlawed. In the future, mankind lives in vast underground cities and free will is outlawed by means of mandatory medication that controls human emotion. But when THX 1138 (Robert Duvall) and LUH 3417 (Maggie McOmie) stop taking their meds, they wake up to the bleak reality of their own existence and fall in love with each other in the process. But love is also illegal in this Orwellian dystopia, and the act of making love has made both of them outlaws on the run from an army of robotic police.
