The 20th century's industrialization has left the world permanently overcrowded, polluted and stagnant by the turn of the 21st century. In 2022, with 40 million people in New York City alone, housing is dilapidated and overcrowded; homeless people fill the streets; about half are unemployed, the few "lucky" ones with jobs are only barely scraping by themselves, and food and working technology is scarce. Most of the population survives on rations produced by the Soylent Corporation, whose newest product is Soylent Green, a green wafer advertised to contain "high-energy plankton" from the world's oceans, more nutritious and palatable than its predecessors "Red" and "Yellow", but in short supply.

The film is faithful to the plot of the novel. McGee and his close friend Meyer are fishing underneath a bridge when a young woman (a former prostitute named Vangie) is thrown off the bridge, weighted with a cement block around her ankles. McGee dives in and saves her, and is surprised when she insists that he not contact the police. She admits that she was nearly killed due to her involvement in a prostitution ring and a murder scheme. The trio travels to Nassau to investigate her would-be murderers, who work in male/female pairs to lure rich, lonely men traveling on cruise ships into their confidence, rob them, and then toss them overboard to drown. McGee and Meyer set out to dismantle the operation.
