Logan's Run

Run Logan, Ruuuunnnnn! Oh wait, wrong film.

Plot: In a Utopian future, mankind lives in a dome, run by a computer (a large ZX Spectrum thing with flashing lights) and live to the ripe old age of 30, at which point they are "Renewed". Logan 5 (Michael York-The Three Musketeers) is a Sandman, empowered to chase after those non-loyal folk that run off when their crystal time clocks (located in their palms) run out. Realising that there's something amiss, Logan and his new girlfriend, Jessica 6 (Jenny Agutter- Walkabout) start to run, find a crusty old dude, Peter Ustinov and discover the truth about their ideal lives and the myth of the "Sanctuary".

Budget: $9,000,000

Gross: $25,000,000

Fun Fact: There was a TV series and there have been multiple failed attempts at a remake. There was even a Marvel Comic. Co-starring Richard Jordan- Raise the Titanic, Solarbabies and Farrah Fawcett.
