A sequel that came 15 years after John Carpenter’s cult classic Escape from New York, Snake Plisskin (Kurt Russell) returns to save the day in post-apocalyptic action film, Escape from L.A.
Set in 2013 following a catastrophic earthquake, Los Angeles is an isolated island, home to citizens who reject the strict morality laws now governing the US. Snake’s new mission is to intercept Utopia (A.J. Langer), the daughter of the President, who holds the detonator to her dad's apocalyptic weapon which has the power to change the face of human existence forever.
Receiving a critical reception upon its initial release in 1996, Carpenter’s sequel has earned itself a cult following with it’s unforgettable set pieces (the tsunami surfing car chase scene) and memorable support from Steve Buscemi, Pam Grier, Peter Fonda, and Bruce Campbell. Got a smoke?
