Acerca de esta película

Kurt Russell (Stargate) stars in a high-velocity sci-fi action-thriller from director John Carpenter (co-written by Nick Castle) that sets the
screen ablaze with heart-stopping suspense, outrageous stunts and imaginative special effects. Bristling with riveting chases and hard-hitting fight sequences,
Escape From New York is your passport to nonstop excitement! In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a prison which
houses the world's most brutal inmates. And when the President of the United States (Donald Pleasence) crash lands inside, only one man can bring
him back: Snake Plissken (Russell), a notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero who, in exchange for a full pardon, descends into the decayed
city and wages a blistering war against the captors. But time is short: in 24 hours, an explosive charge planted inside Snake's body will end the mission
and his life unless he succeeds!

Wow...not in a good way. I love prison movies, but this one was such a disappointment in so many ways. A collection of great actors especially Ernest B. But this supposed "cult classic" was a bore. I do not recommend. So poorly done when compared to Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

Beverly Beam is a clueless feminist to criticize this great troubling vision of a dystopian future of crime. Errie, still standing, and abandoned "Twin Towers" from 9/11-this will be a classic! I've worked 23 years in a MAXIMUM security prison, and like its gritty realism. Rotten Tomatoes got it right. Too bad critics here just "don't get it!"

One of my favorite movies of all times. Great performances by Kurt Russell, Lee van cleef, Ernest Borgnine, and others. Loved this movie for years!
