I just say a few words

"Escape from New York", also known as "The Great Escape from New York", was filmed by Lao Mei on June 24, 1981.

To be honest, this movie really didn’t take the title. The name is a science fiction movie. It’s just a beginning. It’s just an action movie, and overall, the whole movie is disappointing. It’s too easy to watch. Worse.

The story tells that New York in 1997 has become a big prison, with a large group of rogue lunatics, all desperadoes for more than indefinite time. The US President’s plane crashed and crashed into New York. The police found a mob sentenced to life imprisonment, a member of the former commando, and limited him to rescue the President within 24 hours, otherwise the drugs injected into him would automatically explode.

Very simple, the ending can be guessed after looking at the title.

    Personal evaluation: 85/100 Carpenter's classic work. Different from the exciting action movie in imagination, this is a cult movie that combines thriller, action, horror, and science fiction. The snake played by Russell is also a well-known anti-hero image in film history. Compared with his tasteless mission level, his coolness should be his old line. The rest of the president, such as Donald, has the characteristics of Dr. Loomis, and Hayes’ villain bursts crazily well. Cliff was also a rare decent one, but he didn't perform very much. The ending treatment is also different from similar movies, capricious but very Carpenter. New York's future time and space in the film is eerie and terrifying, full of punk and anarchism, and Carpenter's outstanding features are vividly reflected. In the same way, its original electronic soundtrack is still a very good plus point, weird and beautiful. As a science fiction film, the cost of this film is not very high. There are so many night scenes that you can appreciate the taste of "saving", but it makes the best use of it. Uncle Ka is really good at playing, and the effect is very peculiar every time, with the author's style.
