In a dystopian future when the President of the United States crashes into the walled-off prison island of Manhattan, a desperate government enlists the services of infamous mercenary Snake Plissken (Russell) to rescue him. Moody, stylish, and driven by excellent performances—including Stanton as one of the inmates trying to get off the island with Snake—ESACPE FROM NEW YORK is a classic of 1980s sci-fi.
