What Is Logan's Run About?
The premise of Logan's Run without spoilers, adapted from Logan's Run by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. The whole story is in the plot summary further down.
In the year 2274, the inhabitants of the City live in a seemingly perfect, pleasure-filled world controlled by advanced technology. Every citizen is granted a life of luxury and indulgence, but with a chilling condition: at the age of 30, they must report to the Carrousel. This ritual is presented as a transition to a new life, but rumors persist of a darker reality hidden within. When Logan 5, a Sandman tasked with hunting down those who attempt to evade their designated end date, discovers he is himself nearing his 30th birthday, he begins to question the system and embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth.

Logan's Run Plot Summary
What happens in Logan's Run from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In 2116, amid a dystopian society where the boundaries of mortality are strictly enforced, individuals face a harsh reality: they must relinquish their lives at the tender age of 21. As the clock tolls on this fateful day, they are compelled to enter a CTF Sleepshop, where a euphoric toxic gas leads them to a peaceful end. Each person bears a subtle palm flower crystal, marking their age with vibrant colors—yellow for the young (0-6), transitioning to blue (7-13), then red (14-20), and ultimately flashing ominous red and black as the deadline approaches. Upon turning 21, the crystal takes on a dark hue, signaling the inevitable demise that awaits.
