THX 1138 would be a happy worker drone, if the pills he takes let him feel anything. He 'lives' in a windowless industrial/commercial/dormitory along with other shaved-head people in a chemically induced haze. Until the day his roommate, LUH sabotages his daily dose of pills in order to make him feel. They both fall madly in love, but their bliss is short lived since the pills gave THX a vaunted steady hand in his industrial job, and without it they may be discovered.
Which, sadly, they are. Once arrested THX is sent to a strange White Void Room to receive "treatment" for his deviance. He recruits fellow inmates SRT and SEN in an attempt to escape and rescue LUH. However, the escape won't be easy, and in their strange world, nothing is guaranteed.
