About me:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Logan's Run is a 1976 science fiction film based on the novel of the same name by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. It depicts a dystopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources is managed and maintained in equilibrium by the simple expediency of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, thus avoiding the issue of overpopulation which was of growing concern at the time. The story follows the actions of Logan 5, a "Sandman", as he "runs" from society's lethal demand. The 1976 film version, directed by Michael Anderson and starring Michael York, Richard Jordan, and Jenny Agutter, was shot primarily in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex (including locations such as the Fort Worth Water Gardens and the Dallas Market Center) between June and September 1975. The film only uses the basic premise from the novel (everyone must die at a specific age, Logan runs with Jessica as his companion while being chased by Francis). The motivations of the characters are quite different in the film. The film won an Academy Award for Special Achievement for its visual effects, and was nominated for two other Oscars. It received the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, and was nominated for a Nebula Award for Best Script. Logan's Run was the first film made using Dolby Stereo. Since 1994, a remake of the film has been in development hell. The film begins with an on-screen preamble which summarizes the premise of the film:

Sometime in the 23rd century...
The survivors of war, overpopulation and pollution
are living in a great domed city, sealed away from the
forgotten world outside. Here, in an ecologically balanced world,
mankind lives only for pleasure,
freed by the servo-mechanisms which provide everything.
There's just one catch:
Life must end at thirty unless reborn in the fiery ritual of Carousel.

After the preamble, we see an overview of the domes of the city. As the opening credits roll, the camera zooms inside a dome, where various buildings are located, interconnected by clear tubes which appear to function as a transportation system. The scene dissolves into a close-up of an infant's hand, which has a clear crystal rosette implanted in it. We soon learn that the crystal is the visual representation of the baby's "Lifeclock"; it changes color as the person ages, turning yellow, then green, then red. As someone approaches their "Lastday" it begins to blink, and it is black once they die. The infant whose hand is in the first scene turns out to be in a nursery, and Logan 5 (played by York) is watching him. Logan is a Sandman, though unlike the Sandman of folklore, the "sleep" that Logan and other Sandmen provide is "termination" (death) for "runners", people who refuse to report to Carousel for the fate described in the preamble. In Carousel, there is the hope of Renewal -- whether this is some form of survival or of reincarnation is not explained in the script. Neither Logan nor his friend, fellow Sandman Francis 7, have ever known anyone to Renew, though Francis takes it as a matter of faith that Sandmen do in fact Renew. Francis is somewhat more irreverent than Logan -- as he proves by getting the attention of Logan's child by banging on the window with his DS Gun (thereby setting off the alarms). The two soon leave the nursery, entering a car which carries them through the transportation system to the Arcade, to witness a Carousel ceremony in which some Sandmen are trying for Renewal. During the ceremony, Logan receives a message assigning him a runner to track down. Francis sees Logan leave and joins him in the pursuit. After the runner is killed, Logan gathers the runner's personal effects, then the body is sprayed with a chemical which dissolves it completely. The next scene is of Logan at home. In search of sex, he activates the "circuit", a device which is depicted as a sort of teleportation device. Logan uses a remote control to summon someone from the circuit — this is how he meets Jessica 6 (played by Agutter). Although she leaves after deciding not to have sex with him after all, the fact that Jessica was wearing a decorative collar with an ankh pendant hanging from it turns out to be a clue that she and Logan will soon meet again. Logan and Francis are next seen at Sandman headquarters. When Logan turns in the personal effects he had gathered from the runner — effects that included an ankh — he is summoned by the computer to another area where he is given a special assignment. He is ordered to infiltrate an underground railroad assisting Runners who are trying to reach a place of safety, known as "Sanctuary." The ankh is an identification symbol affiliated with it. So that he can pass as a runner, the computer advances his Lifeclock to blinking. When Logan does not get a satisfactory answer upon asking if his Lifeclock will be restored to its previous setting once his assignment is complete, he becomes a "Runner" himself in reality, and begins taking a closer look at the Lifeclock process, realizing that he has never known anyone whose Lifeclock has been extended, "Sandman" or otherwise. Remembering the ankh she was wearing, Logan meets Jessica again, seeking her help in reaching sanctuary. Jessica is skeptical about his interest in running, but becomes convinced of his sincerity when Logan helps a runner instead of killing her. Francis, unaware of Logan's assignment but witnessing Logan's failure to kill a runner, kills the runner himself and begins to pursue Logan and Jessica. Logan and Jessica soon encounter Box (a large silvery cyborg played by Roscoe Lee Browne). Box turns out to be a now insane cyborg whose former job of processing food for the domed city had ended when the food deliveries ended, and Box decided that his new job is to freeze the sanctuary seekers who have started to appear. Logan is able to destroy Box, and the two continue their search for Sanctuary. As Logan and Jessica attempt to reach Sanctuary, they soon leave the domed civilization, with Francis in pursuit. Once away from the city, they discover that their Lifeclocks have become clear. They discover that outside there are forests, streams, and remnants of a prior civilization that features landmarks easily recognized as being part of the National Mall in Washington, D.C.. In the process of investigation, they discover that it is this world outside that is the Sanctuary that Logan was seeking. They meet an old man (played by Ustinov), who is completely bewildering to them, since they have never known anyone older than 30. They research the past civilization in the old Senate Chamber, seeing pictures of elderly and distinguished looking people (notably United States Presidents Franklin Pierce and Abraham Lincoln) in paintings. Francis eventually catches up and has Jessica at gunpoint, but is so shocked to find his Lifeclock having also become clear that he drops the Gun, which she then throws out of his reach. This begins hand-to-hand combat between Francis and Logan, who eventually wins. Francis, disoriented, sees Logan's clear Lifeclock and happily congratulates his friend: "Logan... you Renewed..!" Then he dies. Logan and Jessica decide to return to the domed city to tell the inhabitants what they've seen and learned, and invite the old man to join them on their journey back. Once outside the domes, the old man waits as Logan and Jessica enter the city. Inside the city, they are arrested, and are brought to the city computer for interrogation. Logan tells the computer about his findings — there is no Sanctuary, nothing but ruins and an old man outside the city, and all the Runners were frozen by Box. This information runs contrary to what the computer holds as established fact, leading it to say “input contrary” (its own variation of "does not compute") and it explodes in a fit of cognitive dissonance. This causes a chain reaction of explosions and electrical discharges throughout the city, blasting the dome open to the outside world. Logan and Jessica (and eventually the entire city populace) flee, and the under-thirty citizens meet the first old man that any had ever seen.

Critical reaction
Roger Ebert gave the film a three star rating, calling the film a "vast, silly extravaganza", with a plot that's a "cross between Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and elements of Planet of the Apes, but "that delivers a certain amount of fun." The New York Times was less positive: “Just why and for what particular purpose Logan makes his run is anything but clear after you've sat through nearly two hours of this stuff. Logan's Run is less interested in logic than in gadgets and spectacle, but these are sometimes jazzily effective and even poetic. Had more attention been paid to the screenplay, the movie might have been a stunner.” Although the movie often gets overlooked among other sci-fi giants such as Star Wars (which came only a year later), the movie could easily be considered a cult film, having garnered a loyal audience and still being referenced even 30 years later in popular culture.

Differences between the novel and film
The film is somewhat faithful to the novel in that the basic premise is the same: Nobody over a specific age is allowed to live. Logan runs in order to find Sanctuary with Jessica as his companion while being chased by Francis. However, the primary motivations for the characters in the film deviate significantly from the novel. The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic scenario in which the final remnants of humanity live in a domed city sealed off from the outside world. Thus, the population control policy is designed to prevent overpopulation of the dome. In the film, there is a death ceremony called "Carousel" in which people believe they may be "renewed". In the novel, there has been no worldwide apocalyptic war, but some cities from the past (e.g. Washington D.C.) have been ruined in the Little War. Instead, there was a youth revolution ("Never trust anyone over 30") and all people over the age of 21 were dispatched. Most cities are massive and thriving, which makes the forced-execution premise much more cynical. Accordingly, in the novel, Logan and Jessica travel all over North America with a brief layover in a research station in the Challenger Deep. The novel does not contain Carousel, nor the concept of life renewal. Instead, people willingly go to the Sleep Centers when their Lastday arrives. In the novel, Logan is not assigned the task of finding Sanctuary by the worldwide computer system (the "Thinker"). Instead, after discovering a key on a runner whose dying word is the legendary word "Sanctuary" he is shocked to notice at that same moment that his own palmflower (Lifeclock) is blinking, signifying that he has 24 hours to live. In a bid to end his life covered in glory, he decides to become a Runner and find Sanctuary, if it exists, in order to destroy it. He meets Jessica at the first stage in the "sanctuary line", the New You Shop (also seen in the film) where she is recovering from appearance altering surgery. While the film declares that there is no Sanctuary, the novel shows that it does exist: on an abandoned space station in orbit near Mars. In fact, Francis is chasing Logan not because Francis is a Sandman bent on destroying a Runner but rather because he is the gatekeeper to Sanctuary and he cannot allow a Sandman to find it. With the escape to Sanctuary, the novel sets up the two sequels, Logan's World and Logan's Search. Also, in the novel, Lastday occurs on one's twenty-first birthday; according to the DVD commentary, this was raised to thirty for the film because it was difficult to find actors who looked young enough.

Other differences include:
In the movie, the crystal rosette in each person's palm starts white (or clear). According to a DVD Easter egg available by selecting the crystal from the main menu, a person's Lifeclock is white from infancy to age 8, yellow from age 9 to 15, green from age 16 to 23, and red from age 24 to Lastday. The film depicts Lifeclocks blinking red during the last 10 days until Lastday, but is not precise about when the blinking begins. In the novel, there is no white or green: Lifeclocks start yellow, turn blue at 7, turn red at 14, then blink on the Lastday before turning black at death.

Crystal Color In Novel
Yellow: Birth to 7 years
Blue: 8 to 14 years
Red: 15 years to Lastday (21 years)
Blinking Red/Black: Lastday
Black: End of Lastday (death)

Crystal Color In Film
White: Birth to 8 years.
Yellow: 9 to 15 years.
Green: 16 to 23 years.
Red: 24 years to 10 days before Lastday (30 years).
Blinking Red/Black: 10 days to Lastday.
Black: End of Lastday (death).

In the movie, Logan is assigned by the city's computer to go undercover as a Runner to find Sanctuary and destroy it, and Logan's Lifeclock (referred to as "palm flowers" in the novel) is artificially advanced to enable him to infiltrate the network of citizens sympathetic to Runners. In the book, Logan decides to undertake this quest himself on his own Lastday so that he will be remembered as a hero. For most of the book, therefore, Logan is a much darker character, an antihero, with his character developing a growing sympathy towards Runners until he eventually desires to achieve, not destroy, Sanctuary.

In the movie, Logan finds an ankh pendant, which is a key to Sanctuary, on the body of a Runner he has killed. In the novel he finds a card that allows him to contact an underground network of Runners, through which he meets Jessica. Logan's character in the movie is similarly amoral, but also more inquisitive when compared to other Sandmen. His character is more that of an innocent corrupted by the system — and victimized by it as well. When he is assigned the task of finding Sanctuary, his Lifeclock is advanced to Lastday-countdown although he is "only Red-6" (four years short of his allotted lifespan).

The character of Box, a psychotic cyborg whom the pair encounters, is much different in the film than he is in the book.
In the movie, Box is an insane cyborg who originally oversaw food-processing for the original builders of the city. His lair is part of the passage that the Runners' used as an escape route from the domed city. He appears to predate the collapse of outside civilization, and was once assigned to freeze food delivered to the city (as he proclaims, "Fish, plankton, sea greens, and protein from the sea! Fresh...as harvest day."), but he now freezes Runners because the original food deliveries stopped coming and they started arriving instead.
In the novel, Logan and Jessica find themselves trapped in an Arctic prison colony and are told that Box, the colony's most violent and insane inmate, is their only key to escape. He is shown in the book to be a man who has various horrifying cybernetic implants attached to his body in order to keep him alive, and his description in the book is very similar to a Borg drone from Star Trek. His encounter with Logan and Jessica culminates in a scene completely unfilmable in 1976. Box traps Logan in a cage and then forces Logan to watch him sexually torture Jessica. Logan escapes and proceeds to kill Box.

In the movie, the Sandmen used a pistol which fired an incendiary charge that killed the Runners. In the novel, Sandmen were assigned a revolver-style gun, limited to six shots but far more versatile than that in the film. Each gun would only work for a specific Sandman's hand print, and would explode if anyone else tried to use the weapon (as with the "Lawgiver" handguns in Judge Dredd). Each of the six shots in the gun served a different purpose — homer, nitro, vapor, tangler, ripper, and needler — which did the following:

Homer - fires a charge which seeks out and burns out every nerve in the human body, since it seeks out a body temperature of 98.6 degrees. Since the homer cannot tell one body from another, the sandman must be exact with his shot, as someone else stepping in front of the homer could divert it.
Vapor - produces a large gas cloud which irritates the lungs of any one exposed to the vapors (this appears to be a short acting gas).
Ripper - fires a charge which is designed to rip into the material being fired at (human body, door, etc), which when used on a runner is quite fatal.
Needler - fires a large number of needles which stick into the object being fired at (human, animal, etc).
Nitro - fires a large explosive charge which destroys anything it comes into contact with.
Tangler - produces a large sticky net or web of material which works its way into the surface of anything it comes into contact with; it can be dissolved by regular police with special gear.
The gun can be reloaded with new cartridges which allow for extended use.
