In 1997 is Manhattan een ommuurde gevangenis voor de meest gewelddadige criminelen die Amerika te bieden heeft. Wanneer de Air Force One neerstort op het eiland moet de verguisde oorlogsheld Snake Plissken (Russell) de president zien te bevrijden uit handen van de lokale bendes. De meesterlijke hand van Carpenter (Christine, Prince of Darkness) geeft de film een griezelig duister gevoel ondanks de beperkte technische middelen van die tijd. In 1996 deed Carpenter het zelf nog een keer over (Escape from L.A.) met wederom Russell in de hoofdrol.

It is 1997 and a nearly destroyed New York City has become a walled prison for over 3 million convicted criminals who have lost, but survived, a brutal war against the United States Police Force. In this maximum security prison-city, escape has been made impossible – every bridge is mined and walled, the surrounding waters are filled with deadly electricity and the Statue of Liberty has become just another guard tower from which officers in infra-red goggles blast, on sight, any prisoners desperate enough to try to get out. Radar scanners revolve and helicopters circle the island of Manhattan endlessly. Other than the monthly food drops made by air into Central Park these outcasts are left completely on their own to prey on each other.
