Great movie!!! I’ve seen it many times
In the movie, you die at 30. In the book, you die at 21. The book emphasizes that the society originated in the youth culture of the 1960s.
The young majority (Boomers?) overthrew and genocided everyone over 21. The leader of the revolution took his own life at 21, thus inspiring his New Society to do the same.
I also read the sequel book, and saw a few episodes of the TV series. Neither were very good.
It’s a favorite of mine. Michael York, Richard Jordan, and Peter Ustinov were good in it. And of COURSE, Jenny Agutter and Farrah Fawcett. It was different.
Neither Logan’s Run nor Star Wars is worth a second look. Both are completely brainless.
