Logans Run

Movie Summary

Released: 1976
In the 23rd century, what remains of society is sheltered inside a high-tech domed city. Shades of the Brave New World, poverty, sickness, and war have been eradicated in this futuristic utopia. Babies are grown inside test tubes rather than born. With every needs taken care by the city's central computer, humanity devotes itself to pleasures and games. The catch: no one lives beyond the age of 30.

Those who reach 30 must participate in carousel to "renew" their souls into the next generation of newborns. Those who reject this path are brutally hunted down by sandmen, the city's enforcers.

For Logan, that fateful day has arrived. The former sandman has decided to run and find the mythical "sanctuary".

if you look at movies like "the island", you can see where films like logans run, THX-1132, and oters were used to inspire most of the sci-fi flicks we see today.

I love this movie, and simply ADORE IT! And then I saw "The Island," and they practially copied "Logan's Run!"

Okay,
#1 - Everyone dies, but thinks they're going to be happy (not knowing they will die forever)
#2 - They're stuck in a dome, and have no idea of the outside world.
#3 - The guy escapes with a girl, because he learns the truth about the death thing.
#4 - They reach the outside world, but decide they can be happy until they go back and get all the others in the dome.
#5 - The dome ultimately explodes, while all people/clones escape.
THE END.

No kidding Logan's Run people's sued the filmmakers of The Island, they're pratically the same movie, they just have just done a re-make and said they made changes, would have saved them alot of dough, instead of trying to make it look like they were coming up with original material.
