THX 1138, directed by George Lucas, is set in a future where humanity lives underground in a controlled, totalitarian society. The citizens are constantly monitored and tracked through a complex network of surveillance systems and android police officers. They are required to take drugs that suppress their emotions and keep them docile.
The film focuses on THX 1138, a technician who works in a factory where androids are produced. THX lives a monotonous existence, working long hours and returning home to his sterile apartment where he takes his prescribed drugs and watches instructional videos on a screen embedded in his wall.
Everything changes when THX meets LUH 3417, a woman who also works in the factory. LUH secretly reduces the dosage of her drugs and gradually begins to feel emotions. She and THX fall in love and start a forbidden relationship, breaking the strict rules of their society.
Their relationship is discovered by the authorities, and LUH is forcibly taken away and subjected to brainwashing and emotional reprogramming. THX becomes determined to rescue her and sets out on a dangerous journey through the underground network of the city.
Throughout his journey, THX encounters various obstacles and adversaries, including android police officers and other citizens who have been brainwashed into betraying their fellow humans. THX eventually reaches LUH and they attempt to escape together.
In the tense finale, THX and LUH try to escape the city and its oppressive government. Their efforts are thwarted, and THX is pursued by android police officers through a maze of tunnels and shafts. In the end, THX manages to evade his pursuers and emerges into the daylight, setting off on foot towards an uncertain future.
