“Logan’s Run is a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously.” —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In the year 2274, young residents enjoy an idyllic, hedonistic lifestyle within the protective confines of a domed city. The general belief is that when each person turns 30, they are reincarnated for another blissful life cycle. Those who know the much darker truth become “runners” and flee to a hidden sanctuary. When law enforcement officer Logan (Michael York) goes undercover to locate the refuge, he ends up trying to initiate a revolution with runner Jessica (Jenny Agutter).
