LOGAN'S RUN
(1976)
Eclipsed by Star Wars one year later, this often-maligned film is way better than the nay-sayers will have you believe. In the 23rd Century, people now exist inside dome citys, forgetting about the outside world, which has been ruined by war, overpopulation, and pollution. Life is perfect for the inhabitants, except for one catch. Life must end at 30, in the fiery ritual of "Carousel" Those who choose to live and flee, are hunted and killed by the elite police force "Sandmen". Logan 5 is one of the best, but circumstances make him flee the city with his girlfriend Jessica 6. Logans best friend and fellow Sandman, Francis 7 is chasing them, determined to stop them, at any cost. What they discover will change their lives forever. Nominated for 3 Oscars.
