Kurt Russell (Stargate) stars in a high-velocity sci-fi action-thriller from director Joh Carpenter
(Co-written by Nick Castle) that sets the screen ablaze with heart-stopping suspense, outrageous stunts and imaginative
special effects. Bristling with riveting chases and hard-hitting fight sequences, Escape From New York is your
passport to nonstop excitement!
In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a prison which
houses the world’s most brutal inmate. And when the President of the United States (Donald Pleasence) crash lands inside, only one man can
bring him back: Snake Plissken (Russell), a notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero who, in exchange for a full pardon,
descends into the decayed city and wages a blistering war against the captors. But time is short: in 24 hours, an explosive charge planted
inside Snake’s body will end the mission – and his life – unless he succeeds!
