Logan’s Run

In 2274, humanity’s remnants lead a hedonistic life within the protective confines of a domed city. In this post-apocalyptic society of forced bliss, all citizens are willing to be executed at the age of 30 as a precaution against overpopulation, blinded by a vague promise of reincarnation. A police officer charged with tracking down those who defy this ritual of death is about to discover a shattering secret proving that this sterilized utopia is nothing more than a malicious tyranny.
