Snake must set out into the decaying city, filled with immoral criminals, and he must succeed - for his own life.
Although notfast-paced or well-litits sequel, Escape from LA, this movie works on the level that it is futuristic, without being TOO futuristic, and the main character is likeable, while being tough at the same time. Whether you like Kurt Russell or not, it seems that he was made for the part of Snake Plissken. One of its highest points is its theme song. It really gets your adrenaline going, and that is one of the most important factors of movies. Available on DVD. Sequel, Escape from LA, filmed 15 years after the original also available on DVD.

Otherwise, enjoy.<br/><br/> FROM NEW YORK John Carpenter's Escape From New York is hands-down one of the greatest and most influential cult films in the history of cinema. It certainly has a lot of things working in its favor. It was directed by the great John Carpenter during, what is arguably, the most successful creative stretch of his career. It stars Kurt Russell, who before this film was an up coming young actor with a number of Disney films to his credit. However, after this film, he quickly graduated to leading-man status and cemented his legacyan icon of cult cinema. Andfor the film itself, it takes the rather audacious premise of having New York become a no-man's land-style prison island, and while staying true to it's B-Movie origins, the film really is a critique on the various ideologies that create and define the American experience.<br/><br/>The film begins with a brief narration, establishing that, in the near future, the crime rate has grown to such a rapid extent, that the government decided to turn Manhattan into a giant prison. The president of the United States is on board AirForce One, heading to a three-way peace summit between The U.S., China, and the Soviet Union. The plane has been hijacked by a group of left-wing domestic terrorists, and soon crashes down into the Manhattan Island Penitentiary. Meanwhile, former war-hero turned outlaw Snake Plisskin has been apprehendedis set to be exiled to the prison island. As government officials soon learn that the president is alive and being held hostage, the chief of the United States Police Force, Bob Hauk, played by legendary Spaghetti Western icon Lee Van Cleef, decides to enact a rescue mission. He recruits Snake, promising him a full pardon for all crimes he has committed in return for safely rescuing the President. To ensure Snake's compliance with the mission, Hauk has him injected with microscopic explosive devices that will kill him in 24 hours, which is the time limit he has for rescuing the President before the three-way peace summit is over. Snake has no choice but to complete the mission or die.<br/><br/>The world that Carpenter creates here and the characters that inhabit it are all motivated through political ideology, which has been taken to extremes on both ends of the spectrum. What we have essentially is fascism versus anarchism. The U.S. government is a police state and has gone to far right extremes in order to deal with the growing crime rate. Rehabilitation and reintegration have apparently fallen to the wayside in favor of throwing all of the nation's criminals and undesirables onto an island and letting them rot. This theme of fascism was taken into even more extremes with Escape From L.A., which explicitly portrayed the U.S. Presidenta fascist and totalitarian leader. While the President in Escape From New York is more of a McGuffin than a fully realized character, he is portrayedweak and cowardly, emphasizing the precarious situation that American society is in, which is on the verge of a complete breakdown.<br/><br/>FOR MORE, CLICK ON THE LINK<br/><br/>
For about half the film, Carpenter's narrative economy and explosive visual style (incorporating some marvellous model work of the new Manhattan skyline) promise wonders. The trouble is that his characters neither develop nor interact dynamically, so the plot gradually winds down into predictable though highly enjoyable histrionics.
The most logical reason is that he did it in retaliation. He felt cheated by Hauk because he was not told about the explosive charges in his neck until AFTER he agreed to take on the mission and the injection, and thereby endangering his life. This is the samehis motive for doing a similar thing in <a href="/title/tt0116225/">Escape from L.A. (1996)</a> when he shuts down the Earth. In the sequel Snake tells the President, "You better hope I don't make it back." Another reason could be that Snake broke the tape out of respect for those who helped him escape and who died: Cabbie, Maggie, and Brain. Keep in mind, the President (Donald Pleasance) wasn't too appreciative of the others (saying only that they did a "service to their country"), and was more worried about how he was going to look on TV to address the summit leaders. And of course, it could be that being the cynical anti-hero that Snake is, he really doesn't give a f*. The contents of the tape are never explicitly revealed in the movie, but we can make certain assumptions.<br/><br/>Hauk states that the United States is at war, and that the President was on his way to a summit called the Hartford Summit. China and the Soviet Union are waiting at the summit, so the implication is that (in the movie's alternate future) the U.S. is at war with them. Hauk says that the President's arrival is "critical to the fate of the human race," so the summit is most likely a last-ditch effort to put an end to World War III, an all-out nuclear war. Without the President and the tape, Hauk says, the representatives of China and the Soviet Union will go back to their countries, presumably to continue fighting the war.<br/><br/>One possibility is that the tape contains the speech that the President was going to deliver at the Summit. That seems unlikely, since there's no reason the President couldn't have improvised a new speech containing the basic theme of the old one. Besides, the President could have written the speech down instead of recording it on a tape, and his staff would have had a copy of the speech.<br/><br/>When Snake asks what is on the tape, Hauk replies by asking Snake what he knows about cold fusion. Cold fusion was, at the time of the movie's production, a theoretical process to create unlimited energy. At one point in the cab, a brief portion of the tape is played. The voice on the tape describes radioactive elements before it's shut off. So we know the contents of the tape are related to nuclear technology.<br/><br/>This leaves two possibilities. One is that the tape's recording contains a description of some revolutionary form of nuclear power which the President is sharing with the Communist nations. Giving the technology to the enemy might be a goodwill gesture or revealing the technology might have been a condition of Russia and China's appearance at the summit. Another possibility might be that the tape describes all of the nuclear secrets of the United States. Revealing these secrets might be (again) a goodwill gesture to the enemy or part of the terms of the summit. Either way, the President failing to deliver the technology ends all hope of the summits success.<br/><br/>But the boring answer is that it really doesn't matter what was on the tape in the briefcase,the tape and the briefcase is a 'MacGuffin', a plot device to get the story going. There is a fan-made one called <a href="/title/tt1753790/">Escape from New Jersey (2010)</a>. Set Straight after Escape From New York, we find Snake Plissken stuck in New Jersey with his new found freedom on the line when his path crosses that of Armando Barone, the crime kingpin of the Garden State. With his Presidential pardon in Barone's grasp, Snake is once again forced to re-steal the money that got him sent to New York Prison in the first place. Can Snake pull off the job? Will he ever truly be free? But more importantly, can he escape New Jersey? This one is directed by a fan of the original two movies <a href="/name/nm2031205/">Chris R. Notarile</a> and stars <a href="/name/nm4142591/">Hector De La Rosa</a>Snake.
