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 the mind-blowing vision of lone warrior Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) battling his way out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan! In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US 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 Snake's mission - and his life - unless he succeeds. 2K High Definition Scan Of The Inter-Positive, Struck From The Original Negative; Audio Commentary With Actress Adrienne Barbeau And Director Of Photography Dean Cundey; Audio Commentary With Director John Carpenter And Actor Kurt Russell; Audio Commentary With Producer Debra Hill And Production Designer Joe Alves; Featurettes: "Big Challenges In Little Manhattan: The Visual Effects Of 'Escape From New York'", "Scoring The Escape: A Discussion With Composer Alan Howarth", "On Set With John Carpenter: The Images Of 'Escape From New York' With Photographer Kim Gottlieb-Walker", "I Am Taylor: An Interview With Actor Joe Unger", "My Night On The Set: An Interview With Filmmaker David DeCoteau", "Return To 'Escape From York'"; Deleted Scene: The Original Opening Bank Robbery Sequence; Theatrical Trailers; Photo Galleries - Behind-The-Scenes, Posters And Lobby Cards.
