Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Charlton Heston seemed fond of starring in apocalyptic science-fiction films in the late 1960s and early '70s. There was Planet of the Apes, of course, and The Omega Man. But there was also 1973's Soylent Green, a strange detective film (based on Harry Harrison's Make Room! Make Room!) set in 2022 and starring Heston as a Manhattan cop trying to solve a murder in the overpopulated, overheated city. His roommate (a necessity in the overcrowded metropolis), played by Edward G. Robinson, tries telling him about a better time on Earth before there were no more resources or room left; but Heston doesn't care. Directed by Richard Fleischer (The Vikings), the film has a curious but largely successful mix of mystery and bleak futuristic vision, somewhat like Blade Runner but without the extraordinary art direction. This was Robinson's last film and he's easily the best thing about it; his final scene seems terribly appropriate in retrospect. Joseph Cotten makes an appearance as the man whose murder results in the revelation of a shocking secret. --Tom Keogh
Description:
The is the year 2022. Overcrowding, pollution, and resource depletion have reduced society's leaders to finding food for the teeming masses. The answer is Soylent Green -- an artificial nourishment whose actual ingredients are not known by the public. Thorn is the tough homicide detective who stumbles onto the secret so terrifying no one would dare believe him.

One of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made. This movie is such a classic for any sci-fi fan. "Soylent Green is people"

A wonderful, really bad, movie. You will catch yourself sub-refrencing it for months after watching it. People will wonder what you are talking about.

I read about Soylent Green, in comparison to the new health care bill that is now being debated, and was curious, since I had never seen it. It saddens me to think that our country would ever come to a time when we would even consider such a comparison. On a lighter note, Charlton Heston never dissappoints, in any of his movies. He is great!

2022 and the future is bleak. 40 million people live in New York City and everything's scarce. A new vegetable based food, Soylent Green, seems to be the solution to the problem.
Detective Thorn (Heston) shares his squalid digs with Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson), an old college professor who insists on telling him (in no small part to remind himself as well) how good the world used to be.
When Thorn is called out on the murder of a VIP, Simonson, (Cotten) we get quite ... Read More

A classic in the truest sense. A future where humanity is reaping the price for it's negligence of nature. Humanity overpopulation and it's effects are vividly depicted.
