Silent Running**      

 (US 1971)                            

A conservationist murders his fellow crewmen after they have been ordered to destroy the last of Earth's remaining natural resources preserved in outer space greenhouses.
Another doom-laden 70s vision of the future but with an underlying message of hope, a well designed and rather touching ecological fable, with robots as heroes once the humans have messed things up.
