Get ready for a stunning 4K DCP presentation of John Carpenter’s dystopian masterpiece—restored with razor-sharp clarity, immersive detail, and the neon-soaked atmosphere that defines the film’s legendary style. This is Escape from New York like you’ve never seen it before: bold, crisp, and explosively cinematic.
In this iconic sci-fi action thriller, Manhattan has become a maximum-security prison—a lawless no-man’s-land where criminals rule what’s left of the streets. When Air Force One crashes inside the walls, the government turns to its only hope: Snake Plissken—outlaw, war hero, and all-around legend. With a 24-hour deadline ticking down, Snake must infiltrate the island, survive its brutal factions, and extract the President before time runs out.
Escape from New York remains one of the defining cult films of the 1980s, loaded with atmosphere, attitude, and Carpenter’s unmistakable synth-driven pulse. Experiencing it in pristine 4K brings the tension, world-building, and iconic visuals roaring back to life with new intensity.
For fans of Carpenter and cult cinema, this is a one-night-only mission you don’t want to miss.
