I think you got the movie synopsis a bit wrong. Logan didn't actually become disenfranchised with the society. He was actually one of it's biggest proponents being a sandman. He was actually sent on a secret mission to root out a runner network that was concealing runners within the society. As a consequence, his crystal was artificially accelerated so he could pose as a runner. He then got caught up in the raid on the network, and due to his secret mission, no one else knew that he was not a runner, and probably was by design meant to be expendable. In true humanistic fashion, he did not want to be expendable and found value in his own life. This led to his conversion from a proponent of the society to to an antagonist of it. Also the experiences on the outside that helped him see the truth. Essentially how once one is exposed to Truth, they are forever changed.

He did not become disillusioned and decide to run. The city AI sent him to investigate and destroy "Sanctuary." He became disillusioned while on this mission and learning the truth.

I received a ticket to the preview showing of this movie back in 1975 that took place in a movie sound stage located on the remains of the backlot of MGM! Yup, I really did. It was an amazing movie for its' time and when the comment cards were handed out, nearly 100% of the audience wrote down that they really liked the movie. It was unbelievably cool to be on that old backlot. All of the outdoor scenes of the capitol in DC, the streets of the city, even including the reflection pool were all shot on that backlot. They even allowed us to view the miniature model of the indoor city used in the movie. The next year, after the famous MGM auction it was all gone, torn away and condos had already started under construction. It is an experience I will never forget!

Agreed, I’ve read all the Logan books and it was 21 and out. I think (but can’t prove) Hollywood used 31 and out because of a greater selection of actors that would be between the ages of 21 and 31 without us having to swallow that some guy with grey in his hair is 21. I didn’t care much for the movie version of the Sandmans gun. My recollection of the book, the sandmans gun looked like a six shooter, each cylinder capable of holding a different round. I have a vague memory of Francis saying to Logan that he liked to shove the barrel into a Runners stomach then fire off a homer round into him.

There is no remake. There is no remake. There is no remake.

I saw this film at the drive in on 17 mile rocks rd. Oxley Brisbane when it 1st came out, I was about 10 - I loved it. Had one of the comics too. I'm not sure how I arrived at this interpretation, but I thought the city and computer had been built originally to protect mankind from a toxic ecco disaster outside and over the ensuing years the outside environment slowly recovered but the computer was unable to comprehend this fact. So the whole premise was ironic, the machine just kept running it;s set up program - to kill people at 30 in an attempt to preserve the species when it no longer needed to. People had been inside so long they had forgotten where their civilization had come from how it had come about in the first place, they had no history, and no concept of what was outside the dome, I took it as a tale of technology gone wrong - technology being a case of two steps forward, three steps back. People had become unwitting slaves to the machine, It's kind of a warning film. With complex AI and robotics being an ever growing aspect of our world it is more relevant today than when it made. Hard to believe no one has remade it yet, seems ripe for a re make.

We've had too many of those. No, the re-make has to be an intellectual thinking man's movie, without losing that edge of rebellion and escape at all costs. Something that leaves you unsettled and bewildered at the same time, and you leave the movie secretly wanting to see it again.

Reuven Gayle + This is one of the theories explored in the sequel novels. The party society finds out real quick how pampered they were. Electricity is gone. Meals, drugs, and alcohol appearing at the push of a button are gone. Public transportation and networking are gone. No one lived long enough, so life skills and education were not taught. In the book, that's why the main computer crashed so easily - the people who built the whole network had died and no one was trained to repair it. No one knew how to make anything, they just knew how to use it. After the initial elation wore off, Logan was no longer a hero. He was hated. He was hated even more because he and Jessica actually made it to Sanctuary, which was an old NASA space station orbiting Mars. So while society lived in squalor, Logan was living with technology far away and above the society that he "liberated." He returned after Earth cut the supply lines to Sanctuary. Back on Earth, news of his return spread and roving gangs scoured the countryside looking to kill him and his family for what he'd done. In the series of novels, Logan goes from being a part of the oppressive system, to being a rebel, to being a hero, to being perceived as a villain, only to journey back to being a hero again. It's a dark ride, but so representative of living life. The creator of Logan's Run, William F. Nolan, grew so discontented with how his character was portrayed in the movies, the TV series, and the comics that he stopped all publication of the books. When the books were re-released, all 3 novels were in an omnibus that you could only order from him. Not only that, but you had to write him a letter saying why you wanted the book. My 1st request was denied, but I got it with my 2nd. On the inside of the front cover, was a quote hand-written by Mr. Nolan that I'll never forget: "Logan is a hero of iron, forged in fire, who runs on feet of clay." Priceless!

I remember watching it when it first came out. So I can understand how Sci-Fi is impacted. I say leave it alone. So many decent Sci-Fi movies/television series have been wrecked by remakes. I have read the books as well, so I do have some idea on the impact of a remake. If they do remake it.. Make it into a full television series, like Handmaids Tale and Westworld. That is the only way I see justice on the orginal.

I actually have two pretty great inter-related stories about how I come to see this film after months of trying and failing, leading to seeing it at long last on a double-bill with Annie Hall in a Colorado drive on, AFTER having to accept an industry preview of another sci-fi film in place of LR (which I had been promised!) instead I was taking to see another science-fiction film, which was to win that year‘s Academy Awards for special effects (Logan‘s run won in 1976). That film: Star Wars, which blew my 11-year-old mind, and was doubtless responsible for becoming a director, a job I didn’t really know existed at the time...

Best thing about Logan's Run for me was that I saw it as a double-feature... and the "second" film was 2001. Even though it was almost 10 years old at the time, it was the first time I'd seen it, and on a big screen to boot. Fantastic movie experience! Small quibble with this video - I suppose you can technically say Logan was "disenfranchised by the system"... but it wasn't his choice. He was *assigned* to do his "run" by the computers that ran the City; he was perfectly content living as he was and would presumably have willingly gone to Carousel when his time came naturally. The first thing he asks the computer when his life clock is reprogrammed is if he'll get his time back when he's done with his assignment... only to be met with a noncommittal silence.

Very good. Logan's Run is my first DVD I ever bought now going to watch again to see "live long and prosper" boy. Thank you

I grew up with Logan's Run! A movie ahead of its time

One of my favorites. When I saw this, it was in the Cinerama Theater in Los Angeles that is domed shaped. I left the theatre renewed!

I loved the series! I was heartbroken when it was cancelled. It looked pretty good for the budget, but I always felt it deserved a better budget. Farrah and I shared a great grandmother, so we were fourth cousins. This was the first feature film I saw her in, and I thought she was fantastic!

Good video

The tv series never did well in the ratings because CBS never got behind it to promote it. The network would routinely interrupt/pre-empt LR’s time slot by showing some sort of network special or simply move LR to another time slot. A tv series cannot build an audience if it is constantly undergoing scheduling changes. Yes, I realize the show had lackluster writing and character development, but that could have been corrected. CBS simply did not support this show and after 14 episodes…it simply faded into television history.

It's called a Life Clock, not a Time Clock. Flashing red means it's time for Renewal, everyone who is up for Renewal flashes red, as seen in the opening five minutes. Did you even WATCH this movie? The costumes are colored based on AGE... Logan and Jessica do NOT convince the people of the city anything... they are laughed at and arrested. The city blows up and they have no choice but to go outside. It's the Crazy Horse monument, not mountain. "No matter how you spin it, Logan's Run is a true Sci-Fi classic that we couldn't be bothered to do ten minutes of research on, so we have some comments from IMDB and WikiPedia waved them in the direction of the camera just before filming."

Excellent overview of this classic and presented at "i HAVEN'T done 4 cans of redbull!" speed.. . . Which is refreshing. A nice 10 minute video we can relax with and take in the points being made. Bravo. Fast becoming a great channel, y'all. keep it up !

"THE CRYSTAL! IT'S CLEAR!"

Read the book. The 1976 film ruined the premise the book was even written for. In the novel, Logan decides to run when he reaches his last day, but his reason for doing so changes over the course of the story. In the film, the computer speeds up his life clock and instructs him to do it. While I still like the film, it's nowhere near as good of a story as the novel.I have no faith that Hollywood would even be interested in making a faithful adaptation of the book in this day and age. At it's heart, it is a social fiction story with futuristic trappings. It's not a mindless action/adventure/science fiction romp.

That was actually a ripoff of Parts: The Clonus Horror [see Mystery Science Theater 3000]

When I first saw "The Island" (2005) I thought it was a remake of Logan's Run! Almost scene-for-scene.

"Kelp from the sea!" Is that what the crazy silver robot yelled? It's been so long, cool video

"Protein from the sea" is what I recall, although kelp was in there somewhere in it's description of things harvested. That was one broken down 'bot!

The jewels in their hands were 'life clocks' not time clocks. Logan wasn't disillusioned at first, he was sent on a mission to find sanctuary and became disillusioned as a result of character growth of completing said mission. Great movie.

Incredible film!

I was a kid when I saw it but didn't logans lifeclock start flashing red too early ? or was that the series or both ?

No remake! I love Logan's Run and have since I was 18 in 1976. Don't touch a classic! Michael York owns Logan.

The actor who plays Logan's partner named Francis almost steals the show. He is that good as a supporting actor.

I'd watch Logan's Run just for the scenes with Box and his Battlestar Galactica look. "I'm ready! And you're ready! It's my job, to freeze you!"

They forgot CITY OF EMBER as being derivative of LOGAN'S RUN...

This is one adaptation that was better off straying from the source. Being killed off at 30 was more believable than being forced to die at 21. The movie age limit takes into account the time it would take to fully educate and train an individual, and still have time to lead the hedonistic lifestyle depicted in the movie. Oh by the way don't bother with snowpiercer, depressing ambiguous endings aren't worth 2 hours of your life. Premise was stupid anyway. Not the fact that current ice age goes through another cold period, but the fact that this particular group survivors didn't migrate to a warmer equatorial region when they had the chance, but instead chose to remain in a northern mountainous area where they would be experiencing the worst of the deep freeze.

Everybody Runs!

your motivation depends on what is chasing you and if you have a chance of escaping your intended fate

Logan’s run is a great film. It would be great if someone could find the deleted scenes. Hopefully someday it will be remade it’s a story worth telling again

I've always thought that, in 1976 "Logan's Run" was considered to be the "Mountain of Sci-Fi" - the blockbuster that all others were compared to for its plot and special effects. Then, a year later a little movie called "Star Wars" appeared on the big screen and the "Mountain of Sci-Fi" found itself looking like a grasshopper next to an elephant.

I am old enough to have seen this movie when it was first released as a child and I am here to say it was awesome them and even more awesome today, in 2018...

The original Logans Run. The classic of all sifi classics. Mirrors in many ways what is going on in our world of tyranny today. Triumphant ending. Inspiring hope for us all.

Or is it just a pulp fiction THX-1138

I would like to know the back story to Logan's Run. Why was the city built? What happened outside of the city?

To be clear, George Perez has written his own material; but, on Logan's Run, he was just the artist. Gerry Conway wrote the first issue of the comic and David Anthony craft the other 5 issues of the adaptation (which went through issues 1-5, with a new story in issues 6 and 7). Perez was assisted by inker Klaus Janson. Issue 6 also featured a back-up story with Thanos and Drax the Destroyer, who can currently be seen in Avengers: Infinity War.

whoops that was "the other 4 issues". The first 5 issues adapt the movie, while 6 and 7 loosely adapt elements of Logan's World, within the movie's world. Sales were moderate and it was cancelled after the 7 issues.

Jeff Nettleton + There is also an issue of Marvel Fanfare that focused on smaller stories about various characters rather than one issue-long story. My comics are in storage right now and I don't remember the issue number. However, it featured Black Widow, Elektra, Triton from the Inhumans, and a story set in the world of Logan's Run. It focused on another Sandman (not Logan) chasing a runner. It was a surprize because was not on the cover. I guess BW and Elektra were enough of a draw to sell that issue. Good story and art, though.

Grew-up in the 70's and this was played more than once on the "Saturday Matinee" movie features they'd have every week on network TV, when we had 4 channels, including PBS. Stuck with me the rest of my life, pre-Star Wars, along with Space 1999. Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica were kind of silly later on, but I enjoyed them also. Love this whole era of sci-fi.

Yep my youth as well. During my childhood I did build the Eagle (space 1999) with Lego all the time. The Galactica also was a beautiful ship

That was epic.

I saw the movie in the theater and loved it. For the time it was amazing special effects, Michael York was well known then and I've been in love with Jenny Agutter ever since. I watched the series too but it was never as good. Nice video and behind the scenes info. Thanks.

Logan's Run was a great story, but you do a serious disservice to other science fiction with you claims at how influential it was. There have always been fans of science fiction waiting for their favourite novels to be adapted to the big screen.

It has been influential in many films, just like he expounded upon, how is this a disservice? Many films pay homage to others, or build upon specific concepts; such is life and art. The films "In Time" and "The Island" are both very mich like Logan's Run.

I just watched Logan's Run with my mom and brother. I think I might read the novel sometime if I can find it.

Logan doesn't become disillusioned. He is selected to search for " sanctuary " by the super computer who runs the show. The computer then turns his crystal red and he has no choice but to run.

The best part of the original Logan's Run story to me, as a kid, (book, not the movie) were the Sandman (DS) Guns themselves. They had, I believe, 6 different ammo types which produced wildly different effects: Homer (heat seeker that fires off all your pain receptors at once... think of STNG's Varon-T disruptor), Tangler (metallic sticky net that shrinkwraps you), Nitro (grenade-like blast), Vapor (gas charges that required you to insert nose filters first), Ripper (close-range armor-shredder), and Needler (knockout drug... too bad that one didn't have an EverLove dose option! Hello, Greygirl...). As a kid, I SO wanted that gun!

Great video. Just 1 point: Logan 5 didn't decide to run. He was assigned the task to find sanctuary by the computer he works for.

And Logan's Run the movie which is based off the novel of the same name borrows heavily from Brave New World - a dystopian novel written in 1931 by English author Aldous Huxley. There are also parallels too Anthem written in 1938 by Russian author Ayn Rand. I love them all. Great suggestions for anyone looking for other similar storylines as Logan's Run.

TIM BURTON would NAIL IT as director for the LOGAN'S RUN reboot.

As long as it is not Disney and or JJ Abrams doing it, then it will be fine.

Logans Run - I love any film that makes you think more than just mind numbing entertainment...

The remake has been in the works since before '05 when supposedly it was going to come out then & later in 2012 but they kept dodging stars for the lead role like Tom Welling & Leonardo Dicaprio be cause as it doesn't get released each of these stars do become too old.But if and when it may come out I hope that it'll be more consistent to the book.

I love Logan's run and the TV show and would love to see a remake of it

I remember seeing this when I was a kid at a drive in.

At The end of #7 of The Marvel publication of Logan's Run it said in conclusion and the return of....But that would be telling :Renewal Run but #8 never made print.

Got it on DVD!

I love anything Logan's Run! When I saw Logan's Run I talked my friends into going to see it with me but by this time it was at the Drive-In and by this time Farah was a huge hit so she got top billing. I've read everything Logan's Run

Great movie...still is..

Show Logan's Run Around 1980 immediately I was hooked haven't seen it in over 15 years but still a classic to me

Great film! Jenny was a doll!! Some of the coolest side arms ever! Whoosh
