: The first act focuses on Zac's psychological breakdown as he grapples with absolute solitude—including an iconic scene where he addresses cardboard cutouts of famous figures.
As you look into the 1985 cult classic you will find a film that is widely regarded as a standout in the "last person alive" genre for its introspective and eerie atmosphere. Directed by Geoff Murphy and loosely based on the 1981 novel by Craig Harrison, this New Zealand production follows scientist Zac Hobson (played by Bruno Lawrence) who awakens to find that every other living soul has vanished due to a global energy experiment. Core Themes and Plot
: Zac eventually meets two other survivors, Joanne (Alison Routledge) and Api (Pete Smith), shifting the film into a character study on ethics, relationships, and racial tension. Analysis of the Ending
: The disappearance is linked to "Project Flashlight," a wireless global energy grid experiment gone wrong.
: Unlike typical blockbuster apocalypses, the world in this film is physically intact but hauntingly empty.
It’s not because we have access to some exclusive deal.
Just like a car manufacturer builds a car and relies on dealers to sell it, software creators develop products and work with retail partners to distribute them.
Major retailers like Best Buy aren’t focused on offering the lowest prices. With many stores, employees, and large overheads, their pricing reflects their operating costs.
To get big-box stores to carry certain software products, developers often provide wholesale discounts of 34% to 40%.
Why? Because once the software is developed and launched, selling each additional copy costs virtually nothing.
It’s similar to when Taylor releases a new album—every extra sale takes zero effort.
Now back to Best Buy.
When a developer offers favorable pricing to one retailer, they’re often required by law to extend the same terms to all authorized resellers.
Including Software Keep.

We Had a Choice
One option was to do what Best Buy does: keep around for ourselves and sell it to you at retail.
But this is silly because we don't have the overheads that Best Buy has. That means we can pass some of those savings to you while maintaining a healthy, equitable business.
So that's what we did. It's why you're seeing a
discount today.
