Pako New Yorkista

There's a great supporting cast, cool touches, strong action and a catchy theme, but it's Russell's Plissken that really leaps off the screen, exuding more cool than any ten normal anti-heroes.

Written in 1974, made in 1980, and set in the future of 1997, Escape from New York is timeless activist cinema.

The most striking thing about watching Escape From New York on Blu-ray is how amazingly the film’s special effects stand up to the test of time...

A generally gripping actioner, the film can also be read as a percipient satire of a society irreparably split along lines of class and race.
