PARAMOUNT PICTURES presents John Carpenter's "ESCAPE FROM L.A."
2pp A4 UK Press Card
Paramount - A Viacom Company / United International Pictures / Rysher Entertainment
It's 16 years after Snake's (Kurt Russell) rescue of the President in New York. Now a different President is in power, and declares the United States to be a land of moral superiority: no smoking, no red meat, no freedom of religion, no unapproved marriages.
A massive earthquake - The Big One - has hit Los Angeles, leaving it smashed in ruins and completely surrounded by water. From this new island hell rises an army of discontents, led by brutal South American revolutionary Cuervo Jones (George Corraface). L.A. has become an anarchist state. The President deports all the moral (and therefore criminal) citizens of the U.S. to the City of Angles.
However, it seems that the President's own daughter, Utopia, (A.J. Langer) disagrees with her father's policies. She joins forces with Cuervo, taking with her the key to a doomsday device that could send mankind back to the dark ages.
Snake Plissken, once again, is recruited to complete an impossible task : penetrate the Sodom that is L.A., retrieve the device and eliminate Utopia.
Can Snake complete his deadly mission in time to Escape From L.A.
Certificate: 15. Running Time: 1hr 41.
