Description

John Carpenter’s Escape from New York stands as one of the defining dystopian action films of the early 1980s, blending grim futurism with minimalist genre craftsmanship and the iconic antihero performance of Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, a lone operative sent into a walled Manhattan prison to rescue the President against impossible odds; presented here in the sought after Scream Factory Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, this release features a new 2K scan alongside extensive archival and newly produced supplements that celebrate Carpenter’s atmospheric direction, practical effects work, and enduring cult legacy, with this copy remaining factory sealed and showing light shelf wear visible through shrink wrap consistent with normal storage handling. Produced in 1981 by AVCO Embassy Pictures and Goldcrest Films International, this work was later restored and released on Blu-ray in 2015 by Scream Factory under license from MGM.
