THX 1138: The George Lucas Director's Cut - DVD

THX 1138 [Blu-ray]

After more than forty years of working in the film industry, George Lucas still gets just as much of a kick out of his movies as his fans do. A car accident forced him to change course in his career, taking liberal arts over pursuing a racing career and almost fifty years later is worth an estimated 3 billion US dollars. A meeting with Francis Ford Coppola after winning a scholarship from Warner Bros would be the catalyst that changed Lucas's life forever. At age 30 he wrote and directed American Graffiti, which was loosely based on his own experiences as a teenager. The film picked up four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, but it was his next film, Star Wars, that catapulted him into the stratosphere of big-time movie directors.

In 2044, solar storms have killed 99.7% of the world's population and only 21 million people survive. The ROC Corporation has designed and built robots called Automata Pilgrim 7000 to help to rebuild the world. These robots have two security protocols; they can neither harm humans nor alter themselves or other robots. When police officer Sean Wallace shoots a robot and claims that it was altering itself, ROC insurance agent Jacq Vaucan is placed in charge of the investigation. Soon he believes that there is a clocksmith illegally modifying the robots. Jacq wants to live in the coast and asks his boss and friend Robert Bold to transfer him with his pregnant wife Rachel Vaucan to the coast. Robert offers the possibility if Jacq resolves the case. Jacq and Wallace go to a brothel where the modified robot Cleo attends and Wallace shoots it's leg, expecting that the owner will lead them to the clocksmith. They meet Dupre but she is not the clocksmith that is modifying the robots.
