In the year 2274, young residents enjoy an idyllic, hedonistic lifestyle within the protective confines of a domed city. The general belief is that when each person turns 30, they are reincarnated for another blissful life cycle. Those who know the much darker truth become "runners" and flee to a hidden sanctuary. When law enforcement officer Logan (Michael York) goes undercover to locate the refuge, he winds up instead trying to initiate a revolution with runner Jessica (Jenny Agutter).

Penelope Gilliatt The New Yorker Jan 23, 2024
Never was a sci-fi film so infected with the ruling national belief that young is beautiful. Logan and Jessica regard the lines in the old man’s face as an offense against aesthetics. Go to Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Reader Jun 4, 2007
A numbing combination of sloppy writing, vulgar art direction, high school acting, and bungled special effects. Go to Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out Jun 24, 2006
Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes. Go to Full Review Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) May 9, 2023
What's missing is originality in the plot. Some good ideas are established in the beginning, but they're jettisoned in favor of the "Man against the System" story that turns up in at least one sci-fi film a year. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Aug 24, 2021

...interesting to hardcore sci-fi fans and cultural historians, Logan's Run is all dressed-up with nowhere to go... Go to Full Review David A. Nardozzi Philadelphia Gay News May 26, 2020
Logan's Run allows the viewer's imagination to run free in a whole new world. And imagination is what science fiction is all about. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

thiago S @Thiagostone Jun 11, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life May 26, 2026 A really well made movie with great effects. A destopia far into the future where at the age of 30 you meet your end. Sandman's go after runners. The costumes and makeup look really good. Nice to see Michael York and Jenny Agutter. The gun fights needed a little more work but otherwise a fun time. Tim Treakle See more S S. @SShol Apr 16, 2026 It’s original, it’s fun, it’s campy without being on the nose about it. Watch this, and then realize just how many films were inspired by it! See more bob C @RT46426964 Apr 9, 2026 Junk. Jenny A is in it. And FF. Still junk tho. See more Noah H. @Noah85 Jan 26, 2026 Really cool movie with a really cool sci-fi concept but MAN, is there a lot of nudity in this. Would not recommend it for kids. At least the sets look amazing, the score is great, the action is fun and the old man was my favorite character. See more TI H @MeInCharacter Sep 15, 2025 Even this movie's mistakes become part of its charm. I can't give it five stars, but I give it 4.5 for maintaining its greatness for over fifty years in sea of sci-fi flicks. See more Read all reviews
