I en nära framtid har brottsligheten ökat med 400% och hela Manhattan har gjorts om till en fängelseö omgärdad av skyhöga murar. Regeln är enkel: den som stängs in här släpps aldrig ut igen. Men efter att USAs president kraschlandat på ön måste någon ta sig in i det livsfarliga området för att finna honom. Uppdraget går till en ny fånge, ex-soldaten Snake Plissken.

- ርልዪረ4 juni 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.
- Zokkiie29 december 2025Kurt Russell is pure cool as Snake, trying to survive a totally messed-up Manhattan turned prison. The action’s tense, the vibe is gritty and fun, and yeah, some of the effects are a bit old-school—but that just adds to the charm. Totally worth a watch.
- Risk The Bard22 april 2025This was just really campy and I enjoyed it, alright.
- Aaron Slade20 april 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
- Jakeys28 december 2025Often considered one of Carpenter's best, but as much as I love him and Kurt Russell, it somehow manages to be boring? I really wanted to like it more, Snake Plissken is such a cool character, the concept and the world are also promising, but it just doesn't deliver on it enough.
- flavo4310 december 2025Escape from New York (1981) is a gritty, inventive sci-fi action film that transcends its B-movie roots to become a genre classic. Directed by John Carpenter, it presents a dystopian vision of Manhattan transformed into a maximum-security prison, with Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken sent in to rescue the President. The plot is tight, the pacing relentless, and the atmosphere dripping with tension and style. Carpenter’s use of practical effects and moody synth score creates a world that feels both grim and believable, despite budget limitations. The characters are memorable, from Plissken’s anti-hero charisma to the eccentric figures inhabiting the ruined city. Russell’s performance cemented Snake as one of the most iconic sci-fi action stars, his mythos enduring long after the film’s release. Escape from New York is proof that creativity and attitude can elevate a modest production into a timeless cult masterpiece.
