In the 70's Sci-Fi cult classic Logan's Run what's left of humanity (to the best of their knowledge) live in a hermetically sealed city. The world was ravaged by some disaster. The people live happy go lucky lives until they turn 30. Then a crystal on their chest glows & they must report for a glorious ceremony where they are to be renewed...actually incinerated by lasers...
An underground movement called Runners didn't believe the renewal story & would try to get out of the city. The Police are called Sandman(they put you to sleep...how politically correct of them). When one of the Sandman discovers evidence that they might be right he runs...thus Logan's Run...
From what I can gleam from the Healthcare bill being shoved down our throats & out our @SSes this kind of looks like where we are heading...
If ever there was a time to remake this movie it's right now. They can beef up the back story on how a combo of environmental disasters & war destroyed most of the planet & how the survivors came up with the renewal idea from the remnants of the records of the laws they were able to get their hands on...
