Set in the year 2274, when ecological disaster has driven civilization to the protection of domed cities, the story revolves around a society that holds a ceremonial death ritual for all citizens who reach the age of 30. In a diseaseless city where free sex is encouraged and old age is virtually unknown, Logan (Michael York) is a 'sandman,' one who enforces this radical method of population control (but he's about to turn 30 and he doesn't want to die). Escaping from the domed city via a network of underground passages, Logan is joined by another 'runner' named Jessica (Jenny Agutter), while his former sandman partner (Richard Jordan) is determined to terminate Logan's rebellion. Using a variety of splendid matte paintings and miniatures, Logan's Run earned a special Oscar for visual effects (images of a long-abandoned Washington, D.C., are particularly impressive), and in addition to fine performances by Jordan and Peter Ustinov, the film features '70s poster babe Farrah Fawcett in a cheesy supporting role. Jerry Goldsmith's semi-electronic score is still one of the prolific composer's best, and Logan's Run remains an interesting example of '70s sci-fi that preceded Star Wars by less than a year. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - About What You'd Expect From Aging Sci-Fi I have to admit that I liked the epcot-esque city in which this story is based. Its retro sci-fi look is great and lends itself well to the story. The special effects range from "good for the time" to just plain "bad". The story itself drags on a little too long. There is no reason this movie should be 120 minutes. The premise, however, is good and has not been well duplicated since the original. I simply wish sci-fi movies could have avoided "coming of age" during the time of psychedelic filmography. ... Read More Rating: - Run Logan Run! Logan's Run is just a cool flick any way you slice it. I'm not what you'd call a hardcore sci-fi fan(unless you're talking B flicks like It Came From Outer Space or Cat Women Of The Moon), but I do have an attraction to sci-fi films of the 70s. As far as Set and Production design, special effects, music, and just the overall look of a lot of those films, I think they're the coolest thing. When most folks talk about Logan's Run, they seem always seem rather quick to throw out the words, "cheesy" and "dated". ...

Rating: - Classic Sci-Fi I liked this movie when it first came out and for me it hasn't lost its appeal. It's a story of a post-apocalyptic future where in an enclosed city a vast computer network takes care of its inhabitants every need...up to a certain point. Human life has little value here past a specific age and those who try to escape risk the rath of the the Sandman, a police unit designed to eliminate runners. Until one day, a Sandman is given the assignment to find out about a place called Santuary... Rating: - Logan's Run-Only "So-So" Even for 70's Sci-Fi I saw Logan's Run in 1976 and about the best I can say about it is that it was "so-so" even for the science fiction films of that year. As one writer has stated, the same can be said about the DVD transfer. I must reluctantly give this film three stars and think I am being generous. The best feature of this film was beautiful Jenny Agutter who played lovely Jessica while Michael York played Logan by the numbers. Peter Ustinov was as good as could be expected playing an "old man". I don't see how ...
