## Description

The year is 1997 and in a police state future the island of Manhattan has been turned into a maximum security prison. The rules are simple: once you’re in, you don’t come out. But when the President of the United States (Donald Pleasence) crash lands an escape pod into the centre of the city after fleeing a hijacked plane, a ruthless prison warden (Lee Van Cleef) bribes ex-soldier and criminal Snake Plisskin into entering the hazardous Manhattan and rescuing the distraught president from the twisted world of New York and from the demented clutches of its new ruler The Duke (Isaac Hayes) in John Carpenter’s cyber-punk, action, suspense spectacular.Extras:Purgatory: Entering John Carpenter’s ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK: A brand new feature-length documentary featuring interviews with Writer Nick Castle, cinematographer Dean Cundey, composer Alan Howarth, production designer Joe Alves, special visual effects artist/model maker Gene Rizzardi, production assistant David De Coteau, photographer Kim Gottleib-Walker, Carpenter biographer John Muir, visual effects historian Justin Humphreys, and music historian Daniel Schweiger.

Review: B-movie executed with A-movie personality - Escape From New York is one of those films that seems to improve each decade it survives, not merely because of nostalgia, though nostalgia is certainly lifting a little weight here, but because it’s stripped-down confidence stands in sharp contrast to the bloated, lore-obsessed action franchises of today. It is a B-movie executed with A-movie personality, anchored by a performance from Kurt Russell that should be studied in a class titled “How to Be Cool Without Trying.” Despite a few underpowered moments and the occasional questionable prop design, the film remains a lean, evocative, wonderfully unpretentious piece of science-fiction pulp, and for all these reasons, and of course because it does not, under any circumstances, overstay its welcome. Escape From New York earns a solid 9 out of 10, with a hearty recommendation for anyone who misses the days when an action movie could be quick, dirty, and utterly memorable.
Review: Great escapist movie. Forget your troubles for a moment in this movie, enjoy - AWESOME movie, Kurt Russel as Snake Plisken is the bomb. Great escapism. A movie you will no doubt watch more than once. The music, casting, acting and writing is great.
