A high-octane action, edge-of-your-seat suspense and mind-blowing vision of lone warrior Snake Plisskin (an excellent Kurt Russell) battling his way in & out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan – now a maximum security prison – to save the kidnapped President of the United States from the brutal gangs that have taken over NYC! With Harry Dean Stanton, Donald Pleasence, Ernest Borgnine, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, and Lee Van Cleef.
“It has got an intriguing premise, an effective cast, and it has been expertly mounted.” – Arthur Knight, Hollywood Reporter
“One of the standouts of director/co-writer John Carpenter’s damn-near-unmatched 1976-1988 run of stupendous filmmaking.” – Justin Harrison, The Spool
