The Film

Escape from New York

John Carpenter | US | 99 min.

With Kurt Russell, Isaac Hayes, Ernest Borgnine, Lee Van Cleef, Harry Dean Stanton, Donald Pleasence. In a dystopian future ravaged by crime, the United States government has converted Manhattan into a giant maximum-security prison. Its brutal, roaming prisoners report to the menacing boss, the Duke of New York (Isaac Hayes). When the U.S. President (Donald Pleasence) crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell). But time is short: unless he succeeds, in 24 hours, an explosive charge implanted in Snake’s neck will end his mission—and his life. Rated: R
