silent running media

When this page was first created around 20 years ago, there was little to no Silent Running material available online. Check out the links page for some other excellent sites covering the film, many focusing on the models and in particular the robots.

film on bluray & dvd

Silent Running has benefited from a BluRay release in 2011, and is still available on DVD, and likely from any good digital streaming / download service. I picked up a lovely steelbook of the BluRay in Germany a couple of years ago. The inner is plain unfortunately but the outer looks great and happily uses the same artwork as the poster and vinyl that I have. It has a metallic effect which catches the light wonderfully, but sadly does not photograph well!
