Silent Running (1972): The Deleted Scene That Reveals How the Drones Were Really Made
Silent Running (1972) made its three small drones — Huey, Dewey, and Louie — some of the most memorable robots in classic science fiction. But behind their surprisingly human movements was an ingenious filmmaking technique that the movie itself never fully revealed. Here’s the story behind the missing material and how the filmmakers really brought the drones to life.
