The Scream Factory is finally giving the John Carpenter classic Escape from New York the release it deserves, and we have your details right here.
From the Press Release:
Scream Factory has announced the April 21, 2015, release of John Carpenter’s Escape from New York (Collector’s Edition) on Blu-ray. The new edition of the 1981 cult classic starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Season Hubley, Harry Dean Stanton, and Adrienne Barbeau includes several bonus features including a new 2K scan of the inter-positive, struck from the original negative.
A thrilling landmark film that jolts along at a breakneck pace, Escape from New York leapt to cult status with high-octane action, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and the mind-blowing vision of lone warrior Snake Plissken (Russell) battling his way out of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan.
In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US president (Pleasence) crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Russell). But time is short. In 24 hours, an explosive device implanted in his neck will end Snake’s mission – and his life – unless he succeeds!
Customers ordering from shoutfactory.com will receive their copies of Escape from New York (Collector’s Edition) two weeks early and an exclusive 18″x24″ poster featuring newly commissioned artwork.
