It is the year 2022. Overcrowding, pollution, and resource depletion have reduced society’s leaders to finding food for the teeming masses. Charlton Heston plays a tough homicide detective who stumbles onto a terrifying secret about the government’s activities. Edward G. Robinson, in his last film, plays a retiree facing mandatory euthanasia.

"An interesting science fiction thriller."

—Jay Cocks, TIME

"Good, solid science-fiction movie."

—Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"A clever, rough modestly budgeted but imaginative work, SOYLENT GREEN makes the present seem as close to paradise as we’ll ever get . . . a very satisfying professionalism is everywhere evident. Edward G. Robinson's last performance is among his best - warm, colorful and humanistic . . ."

—LOS ANGELES TIMES

The legendary Charlton Heston stars in this certain campus hit.
