George
Lucas adapted this, his first film, from a short he made at University. THX
1138, LUH 3417, and SEN 5241 attempt to escape from a futuristic society located
beneath the surface of the Earth. The society has outlawed sex, with drugs used
to control the people. THX 1138 stops taking the drugs, and gets LUH 3417 pregnant.
They are both thrown in jail where they meet SEN 5241 and start to plan their
escape.
This
is great Sci-Fi. It is interesting to see some of the similarities between
this and the Star Wars Trilogy. A lot of the ideas, sounds, and voices came
from THX-1138. Lucas even named his special effects sound system after the
movie.
