Cast and Credits for Logan's Run
This is one my all time favorite sci-fi movies. In the 23rd century the survivors of a nuclear war built a great doomed city. This city is sealed away from the forgotten world outside. Men and women doing anything and everything they want. Sounds like a dream don't it? Just one small problem. When your life clock flashes on last day you have to renew. If you want to be 31 your hunted down and terminated. The computers of the city has decided your fate. If you liked THX 1138 and Blade Runner then you'll like this movie. This movie is well worth checking out either in renting or buying it.

In the Year of the City 2274, humans live in a vast, bubbled metropolis, where computerized servo-mechanisms provide all needs so everyone can pursue endless hedonism. Endless, that is, until Lastday, when anyone who's 30 must submit to Carrousel, a soaring, spinning trip to eternity and supposed rebirth. The screen's first use of laser holography highlights this post-apocalyptic winner of a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects.* Michael York plays Logan 5, a Sandman authorized to terminate Runners fleeing Carrousel. Logan is almost 30. Catch him if you can.

Unfortunately, this Blu-ray release of Logan's Run delivers a rather paltry collection of extras. First up is a commentary track with Director Michael Anderson, Actor Michael York, and Costume Designer Bill Thomas. The three participants are recorded separately and have been cobbled together after the fact for flow. Each participant is well-spoken and informed, recalling plenty of interesting facts all these years later, from the design and special effects of Carrousel to the costuming seen in the film. Fans of Logan's Run will want to give this one a listen. A Look Into the 23rd Century (480p, 9:18) is a retro piece that takes a generic look at the movie's futuristic setting. Rounding out this all-too-brief collection of extras is the Logan's Run theatrical trailer (480p, 2:56) (Special Features taken from http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Logans-Run-Blu-ray-Review/5391/)
