Über diesen Film

As this science fiction classic opens, botanist Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) has spent eight years aboard the space freighter 'Valley Forge' preserving the only botanical specimens left from Earth under huge geodesic domes. When he receives orders to destroy the project and return home, Lowell rebels and hijacks the freighter, while plunging the craft into the gaseous Rings of Saturn. From that moment on, he has only the trees, the gardens and two 'Drone' robots, Huey and Dewey, to keep him company on his greatest adventure of all.

I saw it when it came out. One of the best sci-fy movies ever. Bruce was excellent and I fell in love with the robots. Made a lot of people think about saving our plant then.

One of the least known of the sci fi classics. Great story and great performance by Bruce Dern, which probably is the reason the movie never got big; y'see Bruce killed John Wayne and the public never forgave him.

This is one of science fiction movie very few people have heard of. It is very well made, the story is great and has a lot of heart. The lead actor did a super performance. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE.
