"The only thing you can't have in this perfect world of total pleasure is your 30th birthday. Unless you run away.

Michael York is Sandman Logan, a ruthless member of the elite Death Squad. His job: to eliminate 'runners,' anyone trying to escape the city to avoid ceremonial execution. But when 29-year-old Logan himself faces the approach of 'Lastday,' he joins up with young rebel Jenny Agutter for a flight to refuge from their automated bubble-domed world. Richard Jordan is a ruthless policeman, hot on their trail. Farrah Fawcett plays a sexy nurse. Roscoe Lee Brown is half-man, half-machine. And Peter Ustinov gives a deliciously quirky performance as Old Man, living 'outside' in a gone-to-seed Washington D.C.

Distinguished by awesome spectacle, 'Logan's Run' won an Oscar for Best Special Effects, which includes the first film use of laser beam holography. 'It's visual razzle-dazzle is pyrotechnical enough for a dozen Forths of July,' said the L.A. Times, 'images explode and crackle like a Martian pinball machine.'

Perhaps the best science fiction movie since '2001,' 'Logans Run' is an ingenious vision of tomarrow."
