a5c7b9f00b In 1997, when the U.S. president crashes into Manhattan, now a giant maximum security prison, a convicted bank robber is sent in to rescue him.
The year is 1998. Due to huge crime rates, the United States turns its once great city of New York into a maximum security Manhattan prison where hardcore criminals are put for life. All the bridges leading in and out of the city are mined, a large wall is built along the shoreline and a large police force army is based there to stop or kill any attempted escapees. In route to a conference Summit meeting between China and Soviet Union, the President on board Air Force One is forced to eject in a escape pod when a female terrorist takes over the controls and crashes the plane into a building inside the city. A new prisoner, ex-soldier Snake Plissken is offered his freedom if he goes in, frees the President and finds a tape with important information for the conference. Snake agrees but to ensure his co-operation, he is injected with a small but powerful explosive micro capsules that will only be destroyed if his mission is successful. Snake must set out into the decaying city, filled with immoral criminals, and he must succeed - for his own life.
Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau, Ernest Borgnine and Harry Dean Stanton star in John Carpenter's 1981 action film. This is set in the post-apocalyptic future in 1997 where New York has become a dark place. One night, the President (Pleasence) is on his Air Force One jet that's hijacked and crashes. The police force and command center learn that the President ejected and was kidnapped by a gang lead by the Duke (Hayes). Command leader, Bob Hauk (Van Cleef) sends criminal war hero, Snake Plissken (Russell) to rescue him, but only has a limited amount of time. Snake also has help from Cabbie (Borgnine), Maggie (Barbeau) and Brain (Stanton). Russell is terrificSnake and does a great Clint Eastwood impersonation. The rest of the cast is great too and Carpenter & Alan Howarth's score is excellentusual. This is one of Carpenter & Russell's best I recommend.
No one here seemed to comment on it but i loved that running gag used throughout the movie. Every time snake met someone they said a variation on "I thought you was dead." The Duke character played by Issac Hayes put it this way "Snake Plissken? I heard about you. I heard you was dead." HAHAHA<br/><br/>As for the moon pitcher, it was pretty good. Kurt Russell made a good bad guy even though he pitched his voice to sound almost exactly like eastwood. And i loved Adrian Boobeau. Now if someone would just explain the ridiculous premise of the movie. Manhattan island and it's buildings are worth prolly a trillion bucks. If you're gonna turn 20 square miles into a prison, it would make more sense to choose some useless land out in Nebraska, wouldn't it? I rate the film B+.
The pleasures are right in your face, beginning with the million-dollar idea of turning NYC into a walled-off prison where criminals run free. Even born-and-raised New Yorkers (of which Carpenter was decidedly not) could smile at that histrionic setup; it’s an outsider’s joke made funny by our willingness to be entertained.
The most logical reason is that he did it in retaliation. He felt cheated by Hauk because he was not told about the explosive charges in his neck until AFTER he agreed to take on the mission and the injection, and thereby endangering his life. This is the samehis motive for doing a similar thing in <a href="/title/tt0116225/">Escape from L.A. (1996)</a> when he shuts down the Earth. In the sequel Snake tells the President, "You better hope I don't make it back." Another reason could be that Snake broke the tape out of respect for those who helped him escape and who died: Cabbie, Maggie, and Brain. Keep in mind, the President (Donald Pleasance) wasn't too appreciative of the others (saying only that they did a "service to their country"), and was more worried about how he was going to look on TV to address the summit leaders. And of course, it could be that being the cynical anti-hero that Snake is, he really doesn't give a f*. The contents of the tape are never explicitly revealed in the movie, but we can make certain assumptions.<br/><br/>Hauk states that the United States is at war, and that the President was on his way to a summit called the Hartford Summit. China and the Soviet Union are waiting at the summit, so the implication is that (in the movie's alternate future) the U.S. is at war with them. Hauk says that the President's arrival is "critical to the fate of the human race," so the summit is most likely a last-ditch effort to put an end to World War III, an all-out nuclear war. Without the President and the tape, Hauk says, the representatives of China and the Soviet Union will go back to their countries, presumably to continue fighting the war.<br/><br/>One possibility is that the tape contains the speech that the President was going to deliver at the Summit. That seems unlikely, since there's no reason the President couldn't have improvised a new speech containing the basic theme of the old one. Besides, the President could have written the speech down instead of recording it on a tape, and his staff would have had a copy of the speech.<br/><br/>When Snake asks what is on the tape, Hauk replies by asking Snake what he knows about cold fusion. Cold fusion was, at the time of the movie's production, a theoretical process to create unlimited energy. At one point in the cab, a brief portion of the tape is played. The voice on the tape describes radioactive elements before it's shut off. So we know the contents of the tape are related to nuclear technology.<br/><br/>This leaves two possibilities. One is that the tape's recording contains a description of some revolutionary form of nuclear power which the President is sharing with the Communist nations. Giving the technology to the enemy might be a goodwill gesture or revealing the technology might have been a condition of Russia and China's appearance at the summit. Another possibility might be that the tape describes all of the nuclear secrets of the United States. Revealing these secrets might be (again) a goodwill gesture to the enemy or part of the terms of the summit. Either way, the President failing to deliver the technology ends all hope of the summits success.<br/><br/>But the boring answer is that it really doesn't matter what was on the tape in the briefcase,the tape and the briefcase is a 'MacGuffin', a plot device to get the story going. There is a fan-made one called <a href="/title/tt1753790/">Escape from New Jersey (2010)</a>. Set Straight after Escape From New York, we find Snake Plissken stuck in New Jersey with his new found freedom on the line when his path crosses that of Armando Barone, the crime kingpin of the Garden State. With his Presidential pardon in Barone's grasp, Snake is once again forced to re-steal the money that got him sent to New York Prison in the first place. Can Snake pull off the job? Will he ever truly be free? But more importantly, can he escape New Jersey? This one is directed by a fan of the original two movies <a href="/name/nm2031205/">Chris R. Notarile</a> and stars <a href="/name/nm4142591/">Hector De La Rosa</a>Snake.
