Logan's Run

In the glittering metropolis of the future, the year 2274 shines with a veneer of endless luxury. Advanced technology shapes every facet of daily life, turning the city into a playground of pleasure where cravings are met at a moment’s notice and the rhythms of existence seem effortlessly smooth. Neon‑lit avenues pulse with a calm optimism, yet the immaculate surface hints at an order that is too precise, a harmony maintained by unseen algorithms that whisper from the walls of every home.

Beneath this seductive façade lies a singular decree that governs all citizens: at the age of thirty, each person must present themselves to the Carrousel. Presented as a joyous rite of passage to a new existence, the ritual is woven into the cultural fabric, its true nature shrouded in rumor and speculation. The promise of renewal is tinged with an undercurrent of dread, as whispers suggest the Carrousel may conceal a far darker reality than the bright celebrations imply.

Enter Logan 5, a disciplined Sandman whose official duty is to track down those who attempt to sidestep the inevitable. Trained to enforce the city’s strict chronology, he moves through the glittering streets with the confidence of someone who believes the system is flawless. His badge and reputation give him authority, but they also isolate him, placing him on the front lines of a society that accepts its own constraints without question.

As his own thirty‑th birthday nears, the certainty that once guided Logan 5 begins to ebb, replaced by a growing unease. The looming Carrousel, once a distant ceremony, now feels personal, prompting him to question the very foundations of the world he has protected. This dawning doubt sets the stage for a cautious, perilous quest—one that promises to peel back the layers of the city’s perfection and reveal what truly lies beneath.
