Influence on other works
WALL-E director Andrew Stanton said he was influenced by this film,[8] as was Duncan Jones in making his feature debut, Moon.[9]
Doug Naylor, Rob Grant and Ed Bye cite Silent Running as an inspiration for Red Dwarf, the long-running British science-fiction comedy.[citation needed]
Shots of the freighters were reused as Colonial agro-ships in the Battlestar Galactica episode "The Magnificent Warriors".[citation needed]
Shots of the freighters were also used in the 1973 Canadian TV series The Starlost.[citation needed]
Joel Hodgson states that the film influenced the premise of Mystery Science Theater 3000.[10]
John Hodgman's compendium of fictional trivia, The Areas of My Expertise, makes several references to Dern's acting.[citation needed]
When Mike Rutherford (of Mike + The Mechanics) was looking for a title for a particular song, he says, "I called it "Silent Running", because I remembered that film so well, and our song, had a spacey feel to it."[11]
Klaus Schulze's "Silent Running", second track of the album Trancefer, was inspired by the film.[citation needed]
An alternative soundtrack to the film was composed by the UK band 65daysofstatic for the Glasgow Film Festival and later recorded and released as an album in 2011.[12][13]
Universal Pictures claimed that 20th Century Fox's Star Wars had copied Silent Running in a counter-suit to Fox's claim that Universal's Battlestar Galactica had plagiarised Star Wars.[14]
Wall-E itself has A LOT of comparisons to a 70s movie called Silent Running. A little orangy robot looking after plants on a spacestation after Earth becomes inhabitable.
