Logan's Run is a 1976 American science fiction action film directed by Michael Anderson and starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah Fawcett, and Peter Ustinov.

It depicts a future society, on the surface a utopia, but soon revealed as a dystopia in which the population and the consumption of resources are maintained in equilibrium by killing everyone who reaches the age of 30.

Classic sci-fi story of a very different society, different mores. No CGI. Released just before the first Star Wars movie.

So great.

I saw this as a kid. One of those weird memories where for years I wasn't sure what the hell I watched. Then I caught it a couple of decades later and it made sense. I don't think it gets the love it deserves.

It's pretty bad.

Interesting concept, but the movie leaves out critical plot points from the book, making it harder to understand.

Incredible effects for the time.

Absolute classic. This, THX 1138, and Battle Byond the Stars are, for me, the three fims that best represent the sci-fi era of the late 70s, early 80s
