Logan's Run (1976)
dir: Michael Anderson
By Arthur Handy

Last day.... Capricorn 15's..... Year of the city.... 2274.... Carrousel begins....

Back in 1976, one year before the world would discover Star Wars, a classic Science Fiction film was released. It was called: Logan's Run.

The movie, directed by Michael Anderson, and starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan and Peter Ustinov, takes place sometime in the 23rd Century...


The survivors of war, overpopulation and pollution are living in a great domed city, sealed away from the forgotten world outside. Here, in an ecologically balanced world, mankind only lives for pleasure, freed by the servo-mechanisms which provide everything. There's just one catch.

Life must end at thirty, unless reborn in the fiery ritual of carrousel.


Okay Logan Runners, beware the Sandman and their blasters as we go in search of the Domed City of Logan's Run.

Our first stop is The Great State of Texas at the Dallas Market Center Apparel Mart. (this was the main section of Arcade, outside Carousel, the great hall and the plaza with the hand)

Our next destination is The Oz Restaurant/Nightclub in Dallas located at 5818 LBJ FRW, Dallas, TX 75240 It's was the backdrop for the "The Love Shop."

Now really keep your guard up! Zales International Headquarters, now owned by Mobil oil and completely refurbished was Sandman Headquarters and is located at 901c West Walnut Hill Lane, Irving, TX 75038-1003

If you have an ANKH don't go flashing it here at the the Burton Park building.
This building (8700 Stemmons Frwy in Dallas) was used to depict living quarters.
You never know when or where a Sandman might appear.

Fort Worth Water Gardens was used as the Wave Power Inlet seen toward the end of the movie.

Some of various outdoor locations, AKA "Sanctuary" was really the old
Fox Ranch – Mailbu Creek State Park in California.

The Sanctuary HQ and steam tunnel/undersea complex/power center is really the Playa Del Rey, Hyperion Sewage Disposal.

Haven't been terminated yet? All this running building up your appetite?

"Fish, and plankton, and sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here. Ready! Fresh as harvest day!"


We'll keep on running, and we'll see you next month for all new Hollywood On Location!
