Escape From New York
Snake Plissken is on a deadly mission to rescue the
President from the island prison of Manhattan.
"The movie proudly wears its
affection for crusty Sergio Leone archetypes and countdown-clock suspense
sequences; Carpenter was Tarantino long before Tarantino was." - Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
"Riveting!" - The New York Times
"Stylish and scary." - Los Angeles Times
A thrilling
landmark film that jolts along at a breakneck pace, Escape From New York leapt
to cult status with high-octane, edge-of-your-seat suspense and a mind-blowing
vision of a lone warrior (Kurt Russell) battling his way out of a
post-apocalyptic Manhattan! This furiously entertaining thriller grabs
you by the throat and won't let go!
In a world
ravaged by crime, the entire island
of Manhattan has been
converted to a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US president
(Donald Pleasence) crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious
outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Russell). But
time is short. In 24 hours, an explosive device implanted in his neck
will end Snake's mission - and his life - unless he succeeds!
