Dans un monde futuriste géré exclusivement par les ordinateurs, un homme tente de s'échapper du système malgré la traque constante de chacun de ses mouvements...

Σ' ένα δυστοπικό μέλλον οι άνθρωποι ζουν περιορισμένοι σε υπόγειες πόλεις, παρακολουθούμενοι διαρκώς από κάμερες και υποχρεωμένοι να υπακούν σε εντολές υπολογιστών. Αλλά ο THX 1138 4EB δεν επηρεάζεται από την κρατική προπαγάνδα. Πιστεύει πως κάπου εκεί έξω υπάρχει ένας καλύτερος κόσμος κι αποφασίζει να δραπετεύσει.

Nei corridoi sotterranei apparentemente infiniti della città in cui risiede, THX cerca di fuggire dalla sua imminente punizione. Gli archivi automatici custodiscono numerose immagini della sua fuga, che vengono registrate da appositi apparati di sorveglianza. Su una foto color seppia, è raffigurata la figura divina di questa cultura; un uomo barbuto con il numero 0000 sulla fronte.
