1997. New York City is now a maximum security prison. Breaking out is impossible. Breaking in is insane.

In 1997, when the US President (Donald Pleasence) crashes into Manhattan, now a giant maximum security prison, a convicted bank robber (Kurt Russel) is sent in for a rescue.

Well directed by John Carpenter, cool cencept, decent acting, Russell is able to say a lot with little dialogue, through his body language and facial expressions and a good supporting cast, some action scenes, decent CGI for an 80's film back then, decent costumes for a budget of 6 million dollars, with the budget being low carpenter manages to make it look good for its time and the music is good and suits the theme for the film.

Overall a good sci-fi/action film.
