Jenny Agutter - Female star of Logan's Run


Logan’s Run

One of those films that is always showing on rainy Sunday afternoons when there’s nothing else to watch.

Science fiction thriller in which everyone over the age of 30 has to go through "renewal" which is actually death but of course the population don’t know this. Set in the 23rd century in a world of peace and pleasure, nobody grows old. Some members of the community realise the truth and try to flee to a place called "Sanctuary". These people are known as "runners" but first they have to get past the "Sandmen" - secret police.

One of the ‘sandmen’, Logan 5 (Michael York) is assigned to discover the truth about "Sanctuary" but realises the truth about "renewal" and flees the city with Jessica 6 (Jenny Agutter).
