In the future, crime is out of control and the island of Manhattan is a maximum security prison. The rules are simple: once you're in, you don't come out. Buy when the President's plane crash lands into the centre of the city, Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), a one eyed lone warrior new to prison life, is coerced into a rescue mission to bring the President and his cargo out of this land of undesirables. (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)
