Silent Running (2023): Cast & Plot

In a future where Earth’s forests have vanished due to careless exploitation, humanity preserves what remains inside vast greenhouse geodesic domes, each a closed ecological system tethered to enormous cargo ships that circle beyond Saturn. These domes and their precious ecosystems ride on a fleet of eight so‑called American Airlines Space Freighters, a quiet, sprawling operation adrift in the cold black of space. The sheer scale of the operation is matched by the intimate care given to living things, as researchers keep a delicate balance of plant life and animal life in these floating greenhouses, with the aim of someday replanting a recovered Earth.
