But when THX 1138 (Robert Duvall) and LUH 3417 (Maggie McOmie) stop taking their meds, they wake up to the bleak reality of their own existence and fall in love with each other in the process. But love is also illegal in this Orwellian dystopia, and the act of making love has made both of them outlaws on the run from an army of robotic police.

LUH:

I started your dinner for you.

It's probably ready by now.

THX:

I'm not hungry.

LUH:

Well it's fixed, so you'll have to

eat it.

LUH becomes angry.

LUH:

No, your going to eat it, or it

will go to waste.

THX:

What's the matter with you?

LUH turns back to watching the policemen. THX sits quietly,

and after a few moments, he gets up and leaves the room.

LUH immediately flips the switch on the arm of the chair.

An intense flash of light fills the room and gives way to

a naked negro female mannequin, with no genitals, dancing

exotically to driving, sensual afro-electronic music. She

flips the switch again, and the flash fades into a

newscaster comfortably seated in a chair directly across

from her. He is dressed in white, and his head is closely

shaven; as are all of the people in this society.

NEWSCASTER:

....in the constant striving for

perfection in the AIA.PB848's which

have been built this year. Five

felons have been caught fleeing

rehabilitation center dd2. All

five have been undergoing treatment

for drug offenses, two of the felons

were products of the sex act, the

other three....

LUH:

What?

NEWSCASTER:

Two of the felons are products of

the sex act, the other three are

from reproduction clinic nineteen.

The quintet escaped from compound

545 and were all subsequently

destroyed. Reports indicate....

THX returns to his chair carrying his dinner on a tray.

The food looks like multi-colored foam rubber.
