A thrilling landmark film that jolts along at a breakneck pace, "Escape From New York" leapt to cult status with high-octane action, edge-of-your-seat suspense and the mind-blowing vision of lone warrior Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell, "Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2") battling his way out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan! In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US president (Donald Pleasence, "Halloween") crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Russell). But time is short. In 24 hours, an explosive device implanted in his neck will end Snake's mission – and his life – unless he succeeds! Adrienne Barbeau, Lee Van Cleef, Harry Dean Stanton and Ernest Borgnine also star.
