ReviewsRolling Stone - ...[Heston is] one of the movies' all-time great plot-twist screamers..., Entertainment Weekly - ...SOYLENT stands up remarkably well, largely due to Richard Fleishcer's suitably stark direction...
Additional Information21st century New York City is (still) an overpopulated mess, and the only food left is Soylent Green, a soyabean and lentil concoction with an extra-special, government-mandated ingredient. As police detective Thorn (Charlton Heston) investigates a murder, he learns of a conspiracy with bizarre implications and discovers the horrifying truth about Soylent Green's secret ingredient. This is Edward G. Robinson's final movie, as the star died not long after filming his final scene. Based on Harry Harrison's "Make Room! Make Room!"

  • Interesting, will make you think.

    I did see Solyent Green when I was younger and remember being very taken with it, I bought it to see if my memory of it is correct. Very good film and I hope that our world does not end up in such a state. The death scene of Edward G Robinson was heartbreaking, as he had so little time left himself, but it was also very peaceful. Definitely recommend!

  • now and then

    A fictional picture I went to see 45 years ago, now watching the DVD does not seem so far fetched . It is a little dated but probably closer to the truth or direction we may be going in, certainly a film worth watching.

  • Soylent green

    Really Excellent film surprised it has never been remade as new film would be a great film if done right. One of the best films Charlton Heston ever acted in and still a great film to watch today a must see for any film buff

  • Soilent green.

    About global warming considering this film is over 50 years old it hasn't aged and is near the mark for these modern times I rate this film seen it many times before but so many of my friends haven't don't see it on TV or film channel so now see what they make of it if you've never seen it well worth a fiver

  • Love this film

    I do really love this film, even if the subject matter, is a little screwed up. I would love to see a remake of this movie....

  • Great film for Sci-Fi lovers

    Great film for Sci-Fi lovers. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Made in 1973 it shows life in the future dystopian 2022....and looking at the way things are going in this world, I don't think they were far off the mark.

  • Soylent Green DVD Region 2 - Classic and...

    Soylent Green DVD Region 2 - Classic and all too relevant sci-fi from 1973, starring Charlton Heston (who also starred in the original classic sci-fi Planet of the Apes).

  • DATED? Just 3 years to go - will it all come true?

    BEWARE! The SCOOPS are on their way! Hadn't seen this for years and it's great seeing Edward G Robinson in what I THINK was his last film. Watch with the old WESTWORLD and you've got yourself a great double feature.
