Storyline

- TriviaIn the original novel, the colors of the Life Clock change every seven years: yellow (birth-6), blue (7-13), red (14-20), red and black on Lastday, and black at 21. According to the audio commentary, the movie changed it to 30 because it wasn't realistic to have a cast with all of the characters under 21.
- GoofsJessica's panties keep changing from light to dark green. In one scene, they appear to be beige.
- Quotes
Box: Regular storage procedure. The same as the other food. The other food stopped coming. And they started.
Logan: What other food?
Box: Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...
- Alternate versionsScenes edited out:
- The Francis Hunt: The original opening scene had Francis 7 hunting a runner and shooting him backwards into a water fountain to applause from the onlookers. this was because it was deemed too violent for PG and would have got a R Rating in the US and either a AA (14 and over)/2021 15 or X (18 and over)/2021 18 in the UK
- Box carving an ice sculpture of Logan and Jessica. This was removed as they were fondling each other in a lovers' embrace and this would have meant an R rating in the USA and possibly a AA (14 and over)/ 2021 15 or even a X certificate/ 2021 18 ( Adults Only 18 and over) in the UK
- Francis and Logan meeting a woman on Lastday. They casually chat about it and this illustrates the society's indifference to death.
- Longer, racier version of sequence involving characters passing through an orgy shop. again this would have been R rated in the US and AA (14 and over)/2021 15 or X (Adults Only 18 and over)/2021 18 in the UK

Featured review
Brave new world, but only for the young
Logan's Run details a futuristic society that has developed after an atomic war where people live in a large dome which we learn is on the eastern seaboard of the old USA. People look happy and healthy, but none of them are old. Reason being is that those over 30 are killed and in a nice elaborate ceremony called Carousel. That has to be seen to be believed.
Naturally there are some that object to being killed and they run. When they do run, the government sends out people like Michael York and Richard Jordan to discourage that.
The government errs big time though when they send Michael York out on a mission to pretend he's a runner in order to seek out and destroy some mythical society where escapees have gone called Sanctuary. York makes his run and when he teams up with a real runner in Jenny Agutter he makes it real and Jordan his erstwhile friend goes after the both of them.
Some interesting concepts about the value of age and wisdom are dealt with her. Especially when York and Agutter meet up with Peter Ustinov who is the first old person they've ever met. Wait till you see where Ustinov has lived as a hermit in a world that seems to have healed itself from the ravages of atomic war.
Jordan has an interesting performance as a true believer in the society that has evolved and there is the first notice of Farrah Fawcett the 70s it girl as one who has reached her allotted time.
Logan's Run won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects and was nominated for Oscars in cinematography and art and set direction. It holds up pretty well for the new century. We may well ask the question is this the direction we are heading in.
