Escape from New York

1997. New York City is a walled maximum security prison. Breaking out is impossible. Breaking in is insane. A chilling picture of the not too distant future from John Carpenter who gave you The Fog and Halloween. The time is 1997. New York is a maximum security prison operated by the newly formed United States Police Force. Completely walled in and virtually escape proof, the city is a corrupt and devastated wasteland inhabited by three million criminals. When the President's plane crash lands there, he is token prisoner by a gang of marauding criminals... and there is only one man who can get him out alive!
