ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK - DVD.

OVERVIEW: As far as Im concerned, one of the best future-sci-fi-thrillers ever produced. Oh, and yeah, it was made by that fantastic John Carpenter guy! I thought he was dead... ;-) - Dave.

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 a mind-blowing vision of a lone warrior (Kurt Russell) battling his way out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan! Hailed as stylish and scary (Los Angeles Times), dark and dangerous (Newsweek) and gloriously...fun (Tyler Morning Telegraph), this fast-paced and furiously entertaining thriller grabs you by the throat and wont let go! In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted to a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the U.S. President (Donald Pleasence) 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 Snakes missionand his life unless he succeeds!
