In a densely overpopulated, starving New York City of the future, NYPD detective Robert Thorn investigates the murder of an executive at rations manufacturer Soylent Corporation, a top industrialist whose company is the only means of survival for the swarming hordes of poor people.
It's 2022 - the year of Soylent Green. Like Bill Maher said, at least we aren't eating each other. One of Charlton Heston's last great films. The scene of Saul's state-sponsored suicide is all the more moving because it was acclaimed actor Edward G. Robinson's last film, and he passed not long after the film's completion. Amazingly, during the 1970s, a new ice age was the real concern, but Soylent Green had a more accurate prediction: global warming and Earth's dying ecology. One of the great science-fiction films, though as teenagers we went to the theater eager to see Charlton Heston fight Chuck Connors!
The somewhat plausible and proximate horrors in the story of Soylent Green carry the production over its awkward spots to the status of a good futuristic exploitation film.
