“WELCOME TO THE 23RD CENTURY: THE PERFECT WORLD OF TOTAL PLEASURE.”

A police officer in the future uncovers the deadly secret behind a society that worships youth.

BAR TRASH celebrates our 3rd year and 10th sensational season with WE ARE TRASH!, a fan-made mixtape of cult and chaotic cinema (14 May to 20 Aug 2025).

In dystopian sci-fi epic LOGAN’S RUN (1976), Michael York plays Logan 5, a Sandman authorised to terminate runners fleeing Carousel, a compulsory, soaring, spinning trip to eternity and supposed rebirth for everyone aged 30. Logan 5 is almost 30.

Described as “Jazzily effective and even poetic” by The New York Times, LOGAN’S RUN features cinema’s first use of laser holography (yes, that really was a thing) which helped it win the Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects (from before they were given out annually). “A vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously” (Roger Ebert).

Maybe one person just committed to putting this film down on as many suggestion cards as they could, or maybe it is indeed wildly popular, but we are stupidly excited to wrap this season at Beer Merchants Tap with an epic serving of ’70s science fiction.

Polite notice: We are showing the LOGAN’S RUN with English subtitles from the best available digital source.
