People on here mention it once in awhile; it is worthy of note mainly because it was George Lucas' first film. It was kind of 1984ish with people running around with bald heads and lots of bright white sets. Doesn't seem quite the "Best SF" material, though. -Ted Ives Dartmough College I mean DartmouTh philabs!ihnp4!dartvax!tedi

The first film by everyone's pal George Lucas. The phrase THX 1138 shows up as Harrison Ford's license plate in American Graffiti and as a serial number in Star Wars Also, THX is the name of Lucasfilm's new sound system. Neat, hunh? Steve Howard.

Yup, that's what it is all right. 40 net responses identifying a film can't be wrong!!! Is there some way to be sure this is the last response on this question? Mark Leeper ...ihnp4!ahutb!leeper
