Escape From New York
1981Directed By John Carpenter
Quotable.
"I don't give a fuck about your war...or your president."
"I don't give a fuck about your war...or your president."
Snake Plissken has 24 hours to rescue the president from the clutches of criminals who control Manhattan's sealed-off island prison. Sadly, this isn't very different from the way New York was in 1981. Viva la Ed Koch!
