'''Logan's Run''' is a 1976 [[science fiction]] movie directed by Michael Anderson. It is based on the book of the same name written by William F. Nolan.

== Plot ==

Set in what appears to a seemingly idyllic/utopian future, there is just one problem; Life ends at the age of 30.

Logan is a sandman tasked with "terminating" runners who try to escape what is referred to as Carousel, a [[deathism|deathist]] ritual where people who have reached the age of 30 are sent to be "renewed".

When a woman appears in his apartment through a teleportation dating service referred to as "the circuit" and begins asking questions, Logan sets out to discover the truth.

== Transhumanist Elements ==

The main theme of Logan's run is not too dissimilar from that of [[Blade Runner]] except in Logan's run, it is humans who have an enforced lifespan. The movie could therefore be seen to be advocating for longevity and longer life.

=== Other Elements ===

*A runner who is shown to be injured mentions a place called "New You" which is seemingly a kind of rejuvenation service. Logan mentions during this segment that the man could "get a new face while you're at it" making it appear that body augmentation is also available.

*Teleportation is shown via "the circuit" the apparent dating/hook-up service.

*Carousel could have been seen to be some kind of transhumanist technology ''if'' it did produce a true "renewal", perhaps something like a re-birth or reincarnation, but the truth in the movie is that it is simply a murderous way to keep the population in check.
