Escape From New York

In the future, crime is out of control and New York City's Manhattan is a maximum security prison. Grabbing a bargaining chip right out of the air, convicts bring down the President's plane in bad old Gotham. Gruff Snake Plissken, a one-eyed lone warrior new to prison life, is coerced into bringing the President, and his cargo, out of this land of undesirables. ??Anthony Pereyra Awards: 4 nominationsBudget: $6,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $25,274,292Soundtrack: Bandstand Boogie (Music by Charles Albertine)John CarpenterKurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine1981-07-10 (United States)tt0082340
