Synopsis Eye-patched mercenary prisoner Snake Plissken gets forced into another kamikaze mission in this long-awaited sequel to "Escape From New York." This time he must scour the earthquake-demolished, prison streets of Los Angeles, circa 2013, to find and disable a so-called "Doomsday Device," as well as rescue the President's daughter, who's in on the scheme. Packed with clever digs at the Hollywood firmament, as well as juicy bits from B-movie staples Paul Bartel, Bruce Campbell, and Robert Carradine. Synopsis
