Escape from L.A.
Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) embarks on a violent, beat-the-clock escapade in post-”The Big One” Los Angeles in John Carpenter’s follow-up to Escape From New York.
In the sequel to Escape From New York, a catastrophic earthquake hits Los Angeles, causing the valley to flood and turning a portion of California from Malibu to Anaheim into an island. Now deemed the city of sin, anyone who does not fit the mold of LA’s outspoken Christian theocrat president are imprisoned on the island for good. After being captured again for another series of crimes, Snake Plisskin (Kurt Russell) embarks on a violent, beat-the-clock escapade. A big screen must-see for John Carpenter fans full of great LA clichés.
