Filled with tons of elaborate special effects that were amazing and innovative for their time, Logan’s Run was a big-budget extravaganza and received a special Academy Award for its fantastic visual effects. But when Logan’s life support system is sabotaged and he finds himself confronted with The Carnival, he decides to run for it facing an unsure future in the dangerous wilds outside the dome where humans haven’t dwelled for centuries and the only hope is the promise of Sanctuary. Logan (Michael York) is a Sandman whose job is to capture Runners before they make it outside. Those that try to escape this bleak fate, Runners, seek a mythical place outside called Sanctuary. When one’s 30th birthday approaches, they are forced to endure The Carnival, essentially a glorified ceremony that ends in death. Here no one is allowed to live over the age of 30. But there’s a dark reality lying just beneath the candy colored surface. The basis for 1976 Oscar-nominated film by Michael Anderson. In the city everyone is young and beautiful, wearing their futuristic looking clothes and doing futuristic things like having instant sex and being completely nourished by mysterious energy drinks. Scarce original hardcover first edition of this classic dystopian novel about population control. Set in the 23rd century, most humans inhabit domed cities in which they’ve created a seemingly idyllic world. Logan’s Run is a quintessential 1970s sci-fi movie that would set the stage for the emergence of Star Wars the following year.
