Cyberpunk Cinema
EP24 - Logan's Run (1976)
Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.
In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1976 protopunk thriller, Logan’s Run – directed by Michael Anderson, starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Farah Fawcett, Peter Ustinov, and Roscoe Lee Browne.
A police officer in the future uncovers the deadly secret behind a society that worships youth.
Logan’s Run was a landmark science-fiction film of the mid-1970s that posed the question – would you live in a utopian society where you didn’t have to work or struggle but the payoff is that you’d have to sacrifice your life by the time you reach 30? That’s the dilemma that haunts Logan and Jessica, as they decide to press their luck and see what remains outside the dome. It is a fascinating exploration on how we create the walls that imprison us from reality, the laws that govern us with fear, and the lies we tell each other that blind us from the truth. This is at the very core of Logan’s Run.
So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!
