Soylent Green
It's the year 2022. People are still the same. They'll do anything to get what they need. And they need Soylent Green.
Directed by Richard Fleischer
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A bleak, intellectually rigorous dystopian thriller that uses a murder investigation to expose systemic horror and the moral collapse of a civilization choking on its own excess.
In the year 2022, overcrowding, pollution, and resource depletion have reduced society’s leaders to finding food for the teeming masses. The answer is Soylent Green.
