Logan's Run (DVD, 2007)

I like the fact that you can come to Ebay and go back in time to find pieces of your childhood which have influenced or impacted your life in some way. To be able to discover movie titles which you never see in stores and purchase them at reasonable prices is proof of the futuristic technology (such as in the movie Logan’s Run), while preserving the past for pure enjoinment/entertainment. Thank you Ebay. Ken

the movie was very good for its time with special effects and has a great scifi story line
it is something everyone in the family could enjoy and lets face it it is a classic
i would suggest this is the type of movie everyone needs to see atleast once

The film "Logan's Run," situated in an alternate future of the year 2274 in which a domed city houses the survivors of "The Great Catastrophe" which left Earth in ruins, and their descendants, and allows them to live primarily for pleasure with the catch that the lives of all the inhabitants have to end at the age of thirty, is a splendid cautionary tale for modern times. What it asks, in essence, is, "What do we lose if all life has a thirty-year limit?" (William F. Nolan's and George Clayton-Johnson's source novel asked, in essence, "What do we lose if all life has a twenty-one year limit?") When one of those inhabitants, called "Sandmen," whose job at "Deep Sleep," or "DS," it is to enforce the thirty-year age limit on life spans, the fifth inhabitant of the city to be named Logan, receives a secret assignment from the DS central computer to find a place called "Sanctuary" and destroy it because more than one thousand inhabitants, called "Runners," have escaped his fellow Sandmen in their search for Sanctuary from those Sandmen, he finds out. The hard way. (Michael York, appearing as Logan 5, makes little attempt to hide his British accent, which works because it represents the fact that even though the city's actual geographic location proves to be near present-day Washington, D.C., its original inhabitants came to it from all over Earth.) First, he is disguised as a Runner in order to infiltrate an underground that has been helping Runners escape from Sandmen. Then he makes his way outside and finds that Earth is now in ruins. Accompanying him is the sixth inhabitant of the city to be named Jessica. (Jenny Agutter, who, like Mr. York, does little to hide her British accent, makes Jessica 6 truly a woman of our time, someone of whom the city's society proves to be woefully deficient.) Pursuing both of them is the seventh inhabitant of the city to be named Francis. (The late Richard Jordan ultimately made Francis 7 less than sympathetic in his performance.) In essence, you can identify quite well with the story. What DO we lose if we throw away that which is growing old before it can GROW old?

This is a film of whose DVD I have had a previous copy; that copy has lost some of its playability and was in need of possible replacement.
