One sheet the iconic original theatrical movie poster for Escape from New York.Essential Film Details Release Year: July 10, 1981.Director: John Carpenter, who also co-wrote the screenplay and composed the film's memorable synth score.Starring Cast: Kurt Russell as the legendary anti-hero S.D. "Snake" Plissken, alongside Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Harry Dean Stanton, and Adrienne Barbeau. Premise & Trivia The Plot: Set in a then-futuristic 1997, the story takes place after a massive crime spike forces the U.S. government to turn the entire island of Manhattan into a walled-off, maximum-security prison. When Air Force One is hijacked and crashes inside the city, federal prisoner Snake Plissken is forced into a 24-hour race against time to rescue the President in exchange for his own freedom.Historical Context: John Carpenter wrote the initial script in the mid-1970s as a direct cynical reaction to the Watergate scandal.The Poster's Famous Flaw: The classic artwork prominently features the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty lying smashed in a Manhattan street. Ironically, this dramatic event never actually happens anywhere in the movie. However, the visual was so striking that it heavily inspired later sci-fi blockbusters, most notably the 2008 film Cloverfield.
