In exchange for his freedom, Snake must navigate the dangerous landscape of New York, battling gangs and criminals to complete his task.

The film is known for its dark atmosphere, practical effects, and Kurt Russell's iconic portrayal of Snake Plissken.

It explores themes of urban decay, government corruption, and the resilience of the human spirit.
