Logan’s Run Movie Trailer

Logan’s Run is a 1976 science fiction film based on the 1967 novel Logan’s Run. The film was moderately successful earning 25 million dollars in North America alone on an 8 million budget. The film received mixed reviews when released but was recognized for its use of visual and special effects. Today the film is widely regarded as a cult classic and talks of a remake have been floating around since at least the early nineties.

The film is set in the year 2274. What remains of human civilization is contained within domed cities. A computer controls all aspects of life and humans are left to live a burden free life of pleasure. To prevent overpopulation, the computer controls all reproduction and all citizens must partake in “Carrousel” when they become 30. Citizens are led to believe Carrousel is a way of being “renewed” when in actuality they are just being killed for population control. Those who do not wish to enter Carrousel try to escape the city and are known as runners. The humans tasked with tracking them down and terminating them are known as Sandmen. One Sandman named Logan is tasked by the computer with finding out what happens to runners who make it out of the city and who may be helping them by pretending it is his time for Carousel and he wants to run.

Due to its success, a television series was produced in 1977. The series focused on the adventures of the two main characters from the film after escaping the domed city. Although theoretically meant to take place as part of the film, the series made several changes to the story and none of the original cast was involved.


This video, although perfectly suitable for children, is not intended for current children. It is meant for adults who were children when the movie originated. My intent is to preserve or refresh the memories of childhoods from the past and offer some enjoyable nostalgia and entertainment.
