About this event
Book tickets for two or more of our Harry Dean Stanton Centenary films in the same transaction to receive a discount! It’s almost 20 years in the future - the year 1997 - and Manhattan has been turned into a maximum security prison. When the United States President crash-lands into the city centre after fleeing a hijacked plane, a ruthless prison warden bribes ex-soldier and criminal Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) to rescue him before it's too late. With his signature eye-patch and quick-witted attitude, Plissken would become an '80s icon in Carpenter's cynical action classic, which boasts a hall of fame supporting cast that includes Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Isaac Hayes and Harry Dean Stanton.
