Escape from New York 45th Anniversary (1981, R)
Friday, September 18
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Ron Robinson Theater
Ron Robinson TheaterPresident's plane is down. Manhattan is a maximum-security prison. And Snake Plissken has one mission.
John Carpenter's Escape from New York celebrates its 45th anniversary with a return to the big screen. Kurt Russell is iconic as Snake Plissken, the eye-patched antihero sent into a dystopian Manhattan to rescue the President before time runs out.
Packed with action, atmosphere, dark humor, and one of the most memorable antiheroes in science-fiction cinema, Escape from New York remains a landmark of '80s genre filmmaking.
Don't miss the chance to experience Snake Plissken's first—and most legendary—mission on the big screen at Ron Robinson Theater.
