In the future, crime is out of control and the island of Manhattan is a maximum security prison. The rules are simple: once you're in, you don't come out. But when the President's plane crash lands into the center of the city, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), a one-eyed lone warrior new to prison life, is coerced into a rescue mission to bring the President and his cargo out of this land of undesirables.

 

"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
