Review of Escape from New York (1981) by Muffin M — 01 Mar 2013
The year is 1997. New York is a maximum security prison where hardcore criminals are put for life. En route to an important conference, the President, on board Air Force One, is forced to eject in a pod when a terrorist takes over the controls and crashes the plane. Snake Plissken is offered his freedom if he goes in, frees the President and finds a tape with important information for the conference or he will die. Snake must set out into the decaying city, filled with immoral criminals, and he must succeed--for his own life.
Stars Kurt Russell, Adrienne Barbeau, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Harry Dean Stanton, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Season Hubley and Tom Atkins.
Directed by John Carpenter.
