No Blade of Grass

Based on the novel by John Christopher, this thought-provoking sci-fi adventure from director/co-scripter Cornel Wilde is set in an England where a virus has destroyed most strains of wheat and rice. With society teetering on the brink of starvation, a man (Nigel Davenport) leads his family across a bleak British landscape to his brother's farm, encountering renegade soldiers, roving biker gangs, and other threats along the way. With Jean Wallace (Wilde's then-wife), John Hamill. 97 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
