Logan’s Run is a sci-fi film first released in 1976. Based on a novel of the same name by William F Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, it depicted a futuristic world where you could live a life of hedonism and luxury until the age of 30, at which point you were ‘renewed’, or, as we find out a later in the film, exterminated. Of course, in the book (and film) there are those who do not want to die and decide to ‘run’, called Runners. The namesake of the movie, Logan, is a policeman (or Sandman) given the task to infiltrate a group of people who resist the regime, ie those who wish to live longer. For anyone who wants to see the film, I shall not give any more away, suffice it to say, of course, that there are no older or elderly people in existence in this hedonistic ideal world within the confines of its city.
