Line 2: [[File:EscapefromNYposter.jpg\|frame\|<small>"Breaking out is impossible. Breaking in is insane."</small>]] '''''Escape From [[New York]]''''' (1981) is a cult-classic action film featuring the dream team of [[John Carpenter]] and [[Kurt Russell]]. The story is one of the classics: a rescue mission. The President's plane has crashed in the badlands, and so Police Commissioner Bob Hauk ([[Lee Van Cleef]]) is forced to recruit the most [[Badass\|Bad Ass]] criminal available to go in after him. That man is Snake Plissken, and if that name doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the character, you probably shouldn't be watching this kind of movie in the first place. If you still need a clue, he's wearing an [[Eyepatch of Power\|eyepatch]]. And the only way to get him to agree to help is by putting on an [[Explosive Leash]] and turning him loose.▼ ▲''Escape From [[New York]]'' (1981) is a cult-classic action film featuring the dream team of [[John Carpenter]] and [[Kurt Russell]].

Oh, and as you may have worked out from the title, the badlands in question are the ruins of New York. Because this film is set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] (or rather, sixteen years, in the year 1997), and Manhattan has become a giant ruin of a penal colony, full of savage gangs and ruled over by the Duke of New York, played by the late great Isaac Hayes.
