In the year 2022, earth's face has completely changed. New York's population, for example, has grown to 40 million mouths to feed. The greenhouse effect has risen the temperature into nearly unbearable regions, and the people are kept in the cities by law. The rich live in separated luxury apartments (with women as part of the rented furniture) but also experience the lack of natural food. Strawberries are at $150 for a glass of them. Police Detective Thorn investigates a strange murdering case of an official from the Soylent corporation, which feeds the masses with a palette of their creations: Soylent red, yellow, or, even more nutritious, green
Great Sci-fi/anticipation movie!!
Althought it is a movie from the 70's, so some things would be done better today, the ideas are very in advance and very good!!
One to watch

Seen this a while ago for the second time and it feels like a very low budget movie but still it is great and for that time it is fantastic.
