Sounds like you're talking about Geroge Lucas's  THX1138.  I  expect  there
will shortly be 50 more postings to that effect.

And on that subject, how many people are  aware  that  _Metropolis_  wasn't
written by Fritz Lang?  One of my pet peeves is everyone referring to it as
"Fritz Lang's _Metropolis_" when the original novel was actually written by
Thea von Harbou.
