12.1.11
escape from new york (1981)
"You go in, find the President, bring him out in 24 hours, and you're a free man."
Enroute to a critical conference the US president's plane crashes in New York city, but being as this is 1997, New York is now a penal colony, walled off from the rest of the US, and housing the countries worst criminals. With the clock ticking a plan is hatched to send in Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), an ex-military man, turned criminal, who seems to be the presidents only hope, and is blackmailed into attempting a rescue.
Russell doing his best Clint Eastward impression leads us through an entertaining and action packed 90 minutes.
