In the future, crime is out of control and New York City's Manhattan is a maximum security prison. Grabbing a bargaining chip right out of the air, convicts bring down the President's plane in bad old Gotham. Gruff Snake Plissken, a one-eyed lone warrior new to prison life, is coerced into bringing the President, and his cargo, out of this land of undesirables.

- mellisfJuly 3, 2025worth every minute.
- Risk The BardApril 22, 2025This was just really campy and I enjoyed it, alright.
- Aaron SladeApril 20, 2025Hell Yes - What a film! Kurt in his prime, John about to hit his prime next (The Thing). Its a fun ride start to finish
- 匚卂尺ㄥJune 4, 2025Kurt Russell is simply the King of cool as "Snake Plissken" in Legendary Director John "Halloween" Carpenter's classic Sci-Fi "Escape From New York". In the movie ex Special Forces Operative, now turned Convict and Prisoner "Snake Plissken" is forced to head into New York City (now a walled escape proof Prison), find and retrieve the President of the United States (After Airforce one has crash landed in New York), and get out alive. Kurt Russel is brilliant as the wise cracking "Plissken . . Call him Snake", definitely one of/if not the coolest Cinematic Character creation ever. The action is violent, brutal and crisp, and there is an energy that runs completely through the film. As always Legendary Director John Carpenter conjures up plenty of atmosphere in this taut, tense, action cracker. Simply brilliant.
- DoggesAndCattesMarch 9, 2025A lot of good going on for this. Despite all the opportunities for an interesting movie, this movie was a little too boring for me.
