Was probably the inspiration for the movie “Brazil”, released in 1985 where the pneumatic tube system is part of the complicated and extensive "Central Services" administration. Incidentally Brazil is for today's digital dystopia what Koyaanisqatsi (1982) is for environmental instability.

    Also spoiler - there are no terrorists. It's the incompetence of Central Services that is causing things to explode.
