The original Soylent Green (1973), starring Charlton Heston, became one of the most shocking sci-fi films of its era, with its infamous revelation—Soylent Green is people! The remake stays true to this core twist but expands on the story, placing a greater emphasis on corporate conspiracy, government corruption, and the fight for truth. Alongside Josh Brolin, the cast includes Rebecca Ferguson as a rebellious scientist, Giancarlo Esposito as the sinister CEO of Soylent Corporation, and Brian Cox as a high-ranking government official complicit in the cover-up. With a gritty, noir-style aesthetic and pulse-pounding suspense, Soylent Green (2025) is shaping up to be one of the year’s most thought-provoking thrillers.
Set in 2079, the world is on the brink of collapse due to environmental disasters, resource depletion, and a massive wealth gap. With food sources running out, the powerful Soylent Corporation introduces its newest product, Soylent Green, marketed as the only sustainable food source for the world’s struggling population. However, when veteran detective Thorn (Josh Brolin) is assigned to investigate the murder of a top Soylent executive, he stumbles upon a terrifying secret—one that could ignite global chaos. As Thorn fights to uncover the truth, he must navigate government lies, corporate assassins, and a society that may not be ready to face reality. With a dark, immersive atmosphere and a chillingly relevant message, Soylent Green (2025) is expected to leave audiences stunned.
In Soylent Green (2025), Detective Thorn (Josh Brolin) begins investigating the suspicious murder of a high-level executive at Soylent Corporation. His relentless search for answers leads him to Dr. Evelyn Carter (Rebecca Ferguson), a former company scientist turned whistleblower, who reveals the horrifying truth: Soylent Green is secretly made from processed human remains. As the global food crisis spiraled out of control, the elite silently approved mass “recycling” of the poor to sustain those who could still afford to eat. Thorn must expose the secret before he’s silenced, but powerful forces, led by Soylent CEO Damien Voss (Giancarlo Esposito), will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden. In a gripping climax, Thorn risks everything to broadcast the truth, igniting a revolution—but the final moments leave the audience questioning: Has the world already gone too far to be saved? [
