In a future Earth barren of all flora and fauna, the planet’s ecosystems exist only in large pods attached to spacecraft. When word comes in that the pods are to be jettisoned into space and destroyed, most of the crew of the Valley Forge rejoice at the prospect of going home. Not so for botanist Freeman Lowell, who loves the forest and its creatures. He kills his colleagues taking the ship deep into space. Alone on the craft with his only companions being three small robots, Lowell revels in joys of nature. When colleagues appear to “rescue” him, he realizes he has only one option available to him.
故事描述為了保護在太空中飄流最後一片森林的太空人Lowell失手殺了遵守毀掉森林命令的同僚。故事最後，漂流於宇宙中一段時間，本以為終將失落於無際中的Lowell，卻接獲搜救單位的訊號，交代機器人(drone)Dewey照顧最後一片森林後，便自殺了。
比較起闡述自然與人造物之間的對照(在故事中以食物作為例子)，更多篇幅在於描述孤獨及殺人帶來的罪惡感，在無盡頭的空間中孤獨的Lowell甚至變成了被自己殺害的同僚，開始食用人造物、玩起了無聊的卡丁車；更多篇幅放在心理狀態的轉變使得環保議題是否真正為本故事的主題產生動搖。Duncan Jones在Moon (2009)DVD的訪談中提及受到Silent Running的影響，除了對於模型場景的堅持外，可能也對本片中太空旅行孤寂的心理狀態有深刻的印象。
