COLLECTOR’S NOTES:
Logan’s Run is one of the defining dystopian science-fiction films of the 1970s, depicting a seemingly idyllic future society where citizens are compulsorily killed at age thirty to control population and resources. Michael York stars as Logan 5, a “Sandman” tasked with hunting fugitives before becoming a runner himself. AFI Catalog
The film won major recognition for its visual effects and production design and later spawned a television series. Its combination of Charles Moll artwork, iconic 1970s futuristic design, Farrah Fawcett appearance and strong dystopian themes gives this Australian Daybill broad collector appeal. AFI Catalog
