It is 1997 and a ravaged New York City has become a walled prison for over 3 million convicted criminals who have been left to prey on each other after losing a brutal war against the United States Police Force. Into this living hell one master criminal, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), is sent alone on a mission as dangerous as the criminals within its walls; he must rescue the President of the United States whose plane has crashed in New York City on its way to a world summit conference. With explosive devices implanted in his head as a deadly incentive, Snake must face off against roving street gangs of violent criminals and the criminally insane to free the president and Escape from New York. (USA, 1981, 99 mins, R, English | Dir. John Carpenter)
