escape from l.a. (1996)

"You might have survived Cleveland. You might have escaped from New York. But this is L.A."
It's 2013 and Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) is called upon to repeat his feat of daring do. This time in L.A. which has been turned into a prison colony after a devastating earthquake. Once inside he's called upon to recover a doomsday device from this hell hole.
Either a re-hash of Escape from New York with bad special effects, or a spot on satire on American politics, either way it still adds up to an entertaining thriller, though it was never going to out do the original.
