In the year 2274, after the world has been decimated by a holocaust, a new society is built and resides in a domed city. However, it is forbidden for humans to live beyond 30 and you are given two choices, either to go through a ritual called Carousel with the promise of being "renewed", or go on the run and risk being hunted down by an elite police force known as Sandmen. Logan 5 is just such a man, and when he and his partner Francis 7 find and kill a runner, Logan takes an ankh symbol which identifies a person as a runner. When the computers of the city find out that Logan is in possession of the amulet, they order him to go undercover and find Sanctuary, the place where all the runners go to live out the rest of their lives. To ensure this, the computer adds four years to the time crystal on his palm to make it appear that he is on the verge of turning 30. Logan then meets up with Jessica 6, a member of the underground group that helps runners escape to Sanctuary. Logan then begins to run, but in the process realizes that there is much to live for and that he is just entering the prime of his life.

Logan: NO! Don't go in there! You don't have to die! No one has to die at 30! You could live! LIVE! Live, and grow old! I've seen it! She's seen it! [Shows the crystal on his palm] Logan: Well, look! LOOK! LOOK, IT'S CLEAR! [Crowd laughs] P.A. System: Lastday, Capricorn 29's. Year of the City: 2274. Carousel begins. Jessica: No! Don't! Don't go! Listen to him! He's telling the truth! [More laughter] Jessica: We've been outside! There's another world outside! We've seen it! [Sandmen grab them] Logan: Life clocks are a lie! Carousel is a lie! THERE IS NO RENEWAL!

Jessica 6: A friend of mine went on carousel. Now he's gone. Logan 5: Yes, well, I'm sure he was renewed. Jessica 6: He was killed.

Box: Regular storage procedure. The same as the other food. The other food stopped coming. And they started. Logan 5: What other food? Box: Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...

Box: Overwhelming, am I not?
Movie Trivia:
- The costuming was originally intended to be relatively scanty for all the actors in the film, but it was decided the resulting demands on makeup were prohibitive.
-
The first choices for the roles of Logan and Jessica were Jon Voight and Lindsay Wagner. The role of Peter Ustinov's character, the Old Man, was offered to James Cagney.
-
The character of Francis was originally to be played by William Devane, but he pulled out of the film.
-
According to Michael Anderson, the old man's buttons are United States pennies. He made makeshift buttons out of them because he couldn't find any real buttons.
-
The shots of the pistons that controlled the elevator leading to the scene in the ice cave were taken directly from director Michael Anderson's previous film, The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959)
