LOGAN'S RUN

LOGAN'S RUN. Michael Anderson, dir. USA: MGM/United Artists, 1976. Based on the novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson.

Humanity in the future has sealed itself into a domed pleasure-city, a city managed in large part by a computer (which we see and hear at key moments in the plot). Cf. and contrast A. C. Clarke, City and the Stars, and R. Silverberg, World Inside, and the generation-starship works cross-referenced under R. Heinlein, "Universe" (all cited under Fiction). LOGAN'S RUN had two TV versions: Logan's Run, CBS-TV telefilm, 1977 (90 min. airtime), and Logan's Run, CBS-TV weekly series, 1977-78, 60-min. episodes.
