Some type of holocaust has decimated the earth, and the survivors sealed themselves into a domed city near Washington, D.C. To maintain the population balance, the computers that run the city have decreed that all people must die at 30. This system is enforced by "sandmen" : black-clad police operatives who terminate (kill) "runners" (those who attempt to live beyond 30). Logan, a sandman, is sent on a mission to find "sanctuary," which is a code- word used by the master computer to describe what it believes is a place to which runners have been escaping. Logan begins to question the system he serves and after seeing for himself that there is life beyond the dome, he returns to destroy the computer.... (more)(less)

This was an awesome movie. Yes it's dated, but the special effects were still good and I like the futuristic ideas this movie had. Definitely deserves the cult status that it has. "
"Jessica 6: A friend of mine went on carousel. Now he's gone.
Logan 5: Yes, well, I'm sure he was renewed.
Jessica 6: He was killed.
I am a big apoclyptic fan, in the era of which this film was made, it is a good sci-fi movie. This movie fun, with some scenes in the movie it is a bit far fetched. For a 1976 movie the visuals are pretty good, the story yeah not so great but it is good all the same even if you just laugh at it.

"P.A. System: Last day. Capricorn 15's. Year of the city - 2274. Carousel begins.
The Old Man: You mean to say that those people know ahead of time when they're gonna die?
Logan 5: That's right.
The Old Man: Oh, that's silly. What's the reason for that?
Logan 5: That's the way things are. The way things have always been.
The Old Man: Yeah, it takes all the fun out of dying.

"Some type of holocaust has decimated the earth, and the survivors sealed themselves into a domed city near Washington, D.C. To maintain the population balance, the computers that run the city have decreed that all people must die at 30. In this film the future seems actually fun, beside that one drawback... Fantastic, visually great and fun dystopia sci-fi.
Live fast, die young, leave a beautiful corpse"
