Escape from New York	comment	Escape from New York is a 1981 action/science fiction film by the team of director John Carpenter and star Kurt Russell.20 Minutes into the Future (well, sixteen years, as the film takes place in the year 1997), the plane transporting the President (Donald Pleasence) crashes in New York City — specifically Manhattan, which has become a giant penal colony filled with savage gangs that are led by "The Duke of New York" (Isaac Hayes). The commissioner of the United States Police Force, Bob Hauk (Lee Van Cleef), is left without any realistic options for a rescue, so he recruits the most badass criminal he can find to get the President out: Snake Plissken (Russell). When Plissken says he wants nothing to do with the mission, Hauk forces Snake into compliance with an Explosive Leash — if Snake doesn't get the President out of New York within a certain amount of time, the leash goes boom and Snake goes with it.This film is a classic of the dystopian future genre, and Snake himself is a classic Jerk with a Heart of Gold Anti-Hero. Snake's history is mostly just hinted at, but an out-of-print Novelization fills in some of the details.The supporting cast includes a lineup of memorable character actors, including the aforementioned Van Cleef, Donald Pleasence, Harry Dean Stanton, Ernest Borgnine, and Adrienne Barbeau.Fifteen years later, Russell and Carpenter reunited for a sequel, Escape from L.A., which dispensed with much of this film's grittiness to lampoon Los Angeles and Hollywood culture. It was not met with nearly the same level of acclaim as this film.A remake currently sits in Development Hell.Has received an official Tabletop RPG adaptation as a sourcebook for Everyday Heroes from Evil Genius Games.

Escape from New York / int_11ec1fd5	type	Off-the-Shelf FX
Escape from New York / int_11ec1fd5	comment	Off-the-Shelf FX: What appeared to be an impressive (for 1981) wire-frame CGI image of Lower Manhattan was actually a physical model with the buildings outlined with glow-in-the-dark green tape and filmed in black light. Courtesy of none other than James Cameron. At the time, real CGI was still a nascent technology and too expensive for indie film-makers like John Carpenter.

Escape from New York / int_12c2aad	comment	Armed Altruism: During the climax of the original film, Snake voluntarily gives his signature revolver to Maggie so she can attempt a Last Stand against the Duke. The look on his face makes it clear that he's doing so because Brain's death got to him, and he wants to make amends by giving Maggie the chance for revenge. In the sequel, he gives the 1911 he takes from the Surgeon General Of Beverly Hills to Taslima, though this does absolutely no good, as she dies in the next scene.

It turns out that the President is rather indifferent about the loss of life, failing the test, so Snake destroys the tape.

Escape from New York / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
Escape from New York / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: In 1981, Bantam Books published a movie tie-in novelization written by Mike McQuay that adopts a lean, humorous style reminiscent of the film. The novel is significant because it includes scenes that were cut out of the film, such as the Federal Reserve Depository robbery that results in Snake's incarceration. The novel provides motivation and backstory to Snake and Hauk - both disillusioned war veterans - deepening their relationship that was only hinted at it in the film. The novel explains how Snake lost his eye during the Battle for Leningrad in World War III, how Hauk became warden of New York, and Hauk's quest to find his crazy son who lives somewhere in the prison. The novel fleshes out the world that these characters exist in, at times presenting a future even bleaker than the one depicted in the film. The book explains that the West Coast is a no-man's land, and the country's population is gradually being driven crazy by nerve gas as a result of World War III.

Escape from New York / int_183bc405	comment	Being sent to Manhattan Island means a life sentence with no chance of release. Once you go in, you don't come out. There is only one monthly drop of supplies by the government. Besides that, there are no provisions, with the prisoners simply left to fend for themselves in any way that they can. It's heavily implied that everyone who commits a crime in the United States gets thrown in there.

Escape from New York / int_2bdb6280	comment	The Big Rotten Apple: By the early '80s, most major American cities had seen anyone who could afford it flee to the suburbs, infrastructure was decaying, cities were bankrupt, and of course crime was out of control. New York, as America's largest and most prominent city, was the ultimate symbol of this urban decay. In the late '70s, the federal government refused to bail the city out, which led many New Yorkers to declare "America has given up on New York." The film takes the situation to its logical conclusion - all of Manhattan's residents have fled, and the island has been turned into a giant penal colony where gangs battle for supremacy.

In the novelization, Bob's fate is revealed - he was skinned alive in front of Snake. The reason why Snake was arrested and sent to Manhattan Island in the first place is only mentioned fleetingly. It would have been revealed in the film's original opening sequence, which is included as a deleted scene on most modern copies. In it, Snake robs a bank in Colorado and manages to escape with his old war buddy and partner in crime, William "Bill" Taylor, but they are captured and Bill is shot dead before Snake is arrested.

Not only has the US President gone missing, but also the tape he was carrying with information on the construction of a practical nuclear fusion power source, since he'd been en route to a global peace conference before the crash. The badass criminal Snake Plissken is forcibly recruited to retrieve both the President and the tape, in time for the conference. Snake does succeed in retrieving them both, but deems the President failed his Secret Test of Character. So Snake deliberately hands the wrong tape back to the President: the President embarrasses himself by playing "Bandstand Boogie" for the peace conference, while Snake destroys the info about nuclear fusion.

Escape from New York / int_b0155044	comment	Always Night: Played with. Air Force One goes down during the night and Hauk notes the time as 8:45 when he gets authorisation to send Snake in. As a result, most of the action occurs at night, except for the time Snake spends unconscious before being forced to fight Slag. We get one or two daytime scenes showing the recovery of the President's briefcase by the USPF and Hauk having a smoke while looking out over the city.

The only character who's even remotely nice or thinks of anyone but himself is Cabbie, and even he will cut and run if the Duke is nearby.

Escape from New York / int_f7cee9b	comment	During the climax of the original film, Snake voluntarily gives his signature revolver to Maggie so she can attempt a Last Stand against the Duke.

Escape from New York / int_fae64ace	comment	Heroic Neutral: Snake, obviously. "I don't give a fuck about your war, or your president."
