Do you remember
Logan’s run?
If not you need to
watch it again
or
for the first time.
Any female voting
for Mitch McConnell and his republican senators and/or trump
must think about
what they mean by 'make America “Logan’s Run'!
Because after the
immigrants, the dark skins, the red skins, will be you the females that will
next be under their thump!
One of the last pre-Star Wars science-fiction extravaganzas (based on a novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson) takes the famed '60s maxim about not trusting anyone over thirty one step further.
One of the last pre-Star Wars science-fiction extravaganzas (based on a novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson) takes the famed '60s maxim about not trusting anyone over thirty one step further.
Set in the 23rd century, Logan's Run takes
place in a world of peace and immediate pleasure, where nobody grows old.
After
the age of 30, people go in for "renewal" -- meaning they are killed
(although the government hides this from the population).
But in this utopian
paradise, some people still want to live past thirty.
Known as
"runners," these people are unhappy being "renew" and try
to flee to a place called "Sanctuary." Secret police, called
"sandmen," are employed to hunt down runners for renewal.
One
particular sandman, Logan Five (Michael York), is assigned to discover the
truth behind Sanctuary.
To do this, his life-clock is accelerated and he poses
as a runner.
When he suspects that renewal is more about death than life, he
joins up with Jessica 6 (Jenny Agutter), a member of the underground movement,
and the two flee the city hoping to find Sanctuary.
Logan’s Run is a
science fiction film that follows the adventures of a man that aims to rebel
against a strange future rule of society.
Since the rule involves killing
everyone that reaches the age of thirty to prevent overpopulation, the man uses
a number of clever techniques to avoid the authorities that have but one plan
for him.
