The once-great city
of New York

becomes the one
maximum-security prison

for the entire country.

A 50-foot containment wall is erected
along the New Jersey shoreline,

across the Harlem River and down along
the Brooklyn shoreline.

It completely
surrounds Manhattan Island.

All bridges and
waterways are mined.

The United States Police Force, like an army,
is encamped around the island.

There are no guards inside the prison,
only prisoners and the worlds they have made.

The rules are simple.

Once you go in,
you don't come out.

This is Gotham 4,
north bay, Station 17.

I have an escape in progress,
object in mid-bay moving toward the wall.

You have 10 seconds.

Turn around.
Start back to the island.

Gotham 4, confirm the kill.

Circle to base, over.

Security, this is Rehme,
we have confirmation from Gotham 4.

We have a kill at mid-harbor south of the Battery.
Two in the water dead.

Two confirmed.

Very well.

Air traffic, this is Rehme.

Attention, you are now
entering the debarkation area.

No talking, no smoking. Follow the
orange line to the processing area.

The next scheduled departure
to the prison is in two hours.

You now have
the option to terminate

and be cremated
on the premises.

If you elect this option, notify the duty
sergeant in your processing area.

Hold it.

We got a small jet in trouble
over restricted airspace.

Where is it?

Seven miles out
and closing.

Been on the horn for
the past 20 minutes.

We haven't been
able to reach him.

There was a transmission
10 minutes ago.

He identified as David 14,
then all of a sudden he was cut off.

David 14, acknowledge.

David 14,
I'm calling air rescue.

Squawk 7700,
contact on 121.5.

There's still no reply.

Bayonne, I have a mayday
in restricted space.

New York, I have him.

Who is he?

I don't know.

You nave the code?

There's no David
14 on the computer.

- Unlisted?
- Unregistered code.

We telexed Washington.

Still waiting for a reply.

I think I got him, sir.

It's too late, assholes.

All your imperialist weapons
and lies can't save him now.

We're going down.
We're going to crash!

David 14, acknowledge.

Codes coming in, sir.

Tell this to the workers when they ask
where your leader went.

We, the soldiers of the
National Liberation Front of America,

in the name of
the workers and all

the oppressed of
this imperialist country

have struck a fatal blow
to the racist police state.

What better
revolutionary example

than to let their
president perish

in the inhuman dungeon
of his own imperialist prison?

The bosses of the racist...

Unlock the pod.

She's bolted the door.

Can't you shoot off the lock?

No, sir,
she's pressurized the cabin.

How about lifting
the door off at the hinges?

No, sir.

Get me to the pod.

Sir, this is
a locating device to trace you

if you become
separated from the pod.

I'm activating it now.

God save me and
watch over you all.

Computer simulation.

Tracking Air Force One.

He's down!

It's the escape pod.

Forty degrees.

Fifty yards from impact.

I'm going in.

1-W-Larry.

Over the Battery.

We're moving down.

Crash site ahead.

You touch me, he dies.

If you're not in the air
in 30 seconds, he dies.

You come back in, he dies.

Twenty seconds.

I'm ready to talk.

19, 18...

What do you want?

...17, 16...

Let's go. Let's go!

Yes. He's right here,
Mr. Vice President.

This is Bob Hauk.

We can't. If we move in with
choppers, they'll kill him.

We're lucky if
he's not dead already.

They don't want anything yet.

By the time they figure out
what they want, it'll be too late.

Tell him we have to go
with your plan. Now.

We can't wait till tomorrow.
If we have to move in and take the island,

it's a last resort.

It's 8:45.

I want permission
to try a rescue.

Thank you.

All right.

He's dangerous, sir.

I know. I'll be okay.

I'm not a fool, Plissken.

Call me Snake.

"S.D. Plissken, American.

Lieutenant, Special Forces unit Black Light.

Two Purple Hearts,
Leningrad and Siberia.

Youngest man to be decorated
by the President."

You robbed the Federal
Reserve depository.

"Life sentence, New York Maximum
Security Penitentiary."

I'm ready to kick your ass
out of the world, war hero.

Who are you?

Hauk.

Police commissioner.

Bob Hauk.

Special Forces
unit Texas Thunder.

We heard of you,
too, Plissken.

Why are we talking?

I nave a deal for you.

You'll receive full pardon

for every criminal action you
committed in the United States.

There was an accident.

About an hour ago, a small jet
went down inside New York City.

The President was on board.

President of what?

That's not funny, Plissken.

You go in,
find the President,

bring him out in 24 hours,
and you're a free man.

Twenty-four hours?

I'm making you an offer.

Bullshit.

Straight. Just like I said.

I'll think about it.

No time. Give me an answer.

Get a new president.

We're still at war, Plissken.

We need him alive.

I don't give a fuck about
your war or your president.

Is that your answer?

I'm thinking about it.

Think hard.

Why me?

You flew the Gullfire
over Leningrad.

You know how to get in quiet.

You're all I've got.

I guess I go in,
one way or the other.

Doesn't mean shit to me.

Give me the paper.

- When you come out.
- Before.

I told you I wasn't a fool, Plissken.

Call me Snake.

Some of them have cars.

They took old junkers that were left
behind, converted them to steam.

We think they may also have
a gasoline source in there.

And power. Greenhouses, rigged-up
generators, some areas have streetlights.

The "crazies,"
they live in the subways.

Complete control
of the underground.

They're night raiders.

Tracer. Sends a radio signal for 15 minutes.

If you push it,
we can track you on radar.

Just like Leningrad.

But they added something.
A safety catch.

Where am I landing?

Top of the World Trade Center.
Only place you can land.

They won't see it and you
can take off from a free fall.

On the roof is
a service elevator.

It's still operational.

We use it to
infiltrate the prison.

There's a power box.

It'll activate
the elevator down to 50.

From there on down, you walk.

You can locate the President
by his vital-signs bracelet on his wrist.

Sends off a sync pulse.
Use this.

Homing device.

Shows direction and distance.

Strong antitoxin,
stops bacteria

and viral
growth for 24 hours.

Take off your jacket.

I'll be all right.

Let's go, Plissken.

I don't like needles.

22 hours,
59 minutes, 57 seconds.

We talked about 24.

In 22 hours, the Hartford Summit
meeting will be over.

China and the Soviet Union
will go back home.

Now, the President
was on his way

to the summit when
his plane went down.

He has a briefcase
attached to his wrist.

The tape recording inside has
to reach Hartford in 22 hours.

What's on it?

You know anything
about nuclear fusion?

All right.

It's the survival
of the human race, Plissken.

Something you don't
give a shit about.

I'm going to inject you.

It'll sting for
a second or two.

That's it, Plissken.

Tell him.

Tell me what?

That idea you
had about turning

the Gull fire
around 180 degrees

and flying off to Canada...

What did you do
to me, asshole?

My idea, Plissken.
Something we've been fooling around with.

Two microscopic capsules
lodged in your arteries.

They're already
starting to dissolve.

In 22 hours, the cores
will completely dissolve.

Inside the cores
are a heat-sensing charge.

Not a large explosive.

About the size of a pinhead.

Just big enough to open up
both your arteries.

I'd say you'd be dead
in 10 or 15 seconds...

Take them out now.

They're protected
by the cores.

15 minutes before
the last hour's up,

we can neutralize
the charge with x-rays.

We'll burn out the charges
if you have the President.

What if I'm a little late?

No more Hartford Summit

and no more Snake Plissken.

When I get back,
I'm gonna kill you.

The Gullfire's waiting.

I'm ready.

Twenty-one hours.

Suppose he's dead, Hauk.

If I come back without him,
you'll burn these things out?

Get them both back, Plissken.

And, remember, once you're
inside you're on your own.

Oh, you mean
I can't count on you?

No.

Good.

Tracer test confirmed

at 20 hours,
17 minutes, 30 seconds.

Are you picking
up the target blip?

Right on course.

Been a while.

How's your altitude?

Plissken.

Plissken?

Plissken, what are you doing?

Playing with myself.
I'm going in.

Plissken.

Plissken?

I'm inside the World Trade Center
on the 50th floor.

Just like Leningrad, Hauk.

Is the glider intact?

Yeah, but taking off
is for shit.

I'll work it out.

You'll have to use
the east stairwell.

It's gonna take you a little while
to get to ground level.

Call me when you get outside.

I'm at the plane.

Nobody else made it, Hauk.

Wait a minute.

I've got his pulse.

Right up ahead,
moving northwest.

...the Big Apple
is plenty of fun

Stab a priest
With a fork

And you'll spend
your vacation in New York

Rob a bank
Take a truck

You can get here
by stealing a buck

This is bliss
It's a lark

Buddy, everyone's
coming to New York!

No more Yankees
Strike the word from your ears

Spin the roulette
There's no more opera at the Met

This is hell
This is fate

But now this is your
world and it's great

So rejoice
Pop a cork

Buddy, everyone's
coming to New York!

To the cop...

Hey. You're Snake Plissken,
ain't you?

What do you want?

Nothing.

I thought you were dead.

Hey, you don't wanna walk
around down there, Snake.

Hi, chief. Nice night.

Nice boots.

Nice boots.

Hey.

Easy now, chief.

I'm walking. I'm walking.

Mr. President.

I'm the President.
Sure, I'm the President.

I knew when I got this thing,
I'd be President.

Where'd you get it?

I woke up and there it was.

It was like a miracle.

Oh, Jesus!

It may be just an impact
on the mechanism itself.

Hauk.

I'm right here, Plissken.

I don't know who you assholes are looking at,
but it's not the President.

Hail to the chief

All right,
get your machine ready.

I'm coming out.

Eighteen hours, Plissken.

Listen to me, Hauk.

The President is dead.
You got that?

Somebody's had
him for dinner.

Plissken, if you get back in
that glider, I'll shoot you down.

You climb out,
I'll burn you off the wall.

You understand that,
Plissken?

A little human compassion.

You a cop?

No.

You got a gun.

You got a smoke?

Keep your hand over it.

It's all right
if we're quiet.

They won't hear us.

Hey, this is a real one.
You just get in?

What's going on out there?

Crazies.

End of the month.
They're out of food.

Do you live here?

Skulls? Are you kidding?

I'm with the Turks now.

I just got caught on the street after dark,
now I'm stuck here all night.

A plane crashed
seven hours ago

near 8th Avenue.
Did you see it?

No.

Shit.

You're a cop.

I'm an asshole.

Hey, wait a minute.

I know who you are.

Yeah. But I heard
you were dead.

I am.

Snake Plissken. All right!

What you doing in here
with a gun, Snake?

Looking for somebody.

- Who?
- The President.

Come on.

He really here?

Somewhere.

When you find him,
you gonna take him out?

Take me out with you, Snake.

Why?

I can think of
lots of reasons why.

Where you going, buddy?

Bad neighborhood, Snake.

You don't wanna be walking from
the Bowery to 42nd Street at night.

I've been driving
a cab here for 30 years,

and I'm telling you, you don't walk
around here at night. Yes, sir!

Here they'll kill you and strip
you in 10 seconds flat.

Usually, I'm not
down around here myself,

but I wanted to
catch that show.

This stuff is like
gold around here, you know.

Hey, Snake,
when did you get in?

I didn't even
know they caught you.

Oh, Snake Plissken in my cab.

Wait till I tell Eddie!
Hey, hang on, Snake.

Hey, what were you doing
back there, Snake?

Looking for somebody.

Well, why didn't you ask me?

Hell, I know
everybody in this town.

Yes, sir,
I've been driving this cab

for 30 years.
This very same cab!

I'm gonna ask you.

Now, where's the President?

The Duke got him.

Everybody knows
the Duke's got him.

You don't have to put a gun
to my head. I'll tell you.

Who's the Duke?

The Duke?

The Duke of New York.
A-number-one.

The big man, that's who!

Well, that's real good.

I wanna meet this Duke.

You can't meet the Duke.

Are you crazy?

Nobody gets to meet the Duke.

You meet him once
and then you're dead!

I hate to leave
her on the street.

Usually, I don't
leave her alone at all.

But you're
a special case, Snake.

It's okay, Snake.

It's a better neighborhood.

You can relax.

Thanks.

Boy, they got
a great place here.

Like a fortress.

- They?
- Yeah.

Who is it?

It's me!

Who's "me"?

Cabbie.

What do you want?

Somebody wants to see Brain.
It's important.

- Go away, Cabbie!
- No, it's Snake!

Snake Plissken.

You're Plissken?

He wants to see Brain.

Why?

I wanna meet the Duke.

Hey, you remember
this place, Snake.

It used to
be a public library.

Oh, that Brain,
he's the greatest.

Mr. Fabulous!
The Duke loves him.

Who's that?

That's Maggie,
Brain's squeeze.

The Duke gave her to Brain
just to keep him happy.

See what I mean?

Heard you were dead.

Brain? Brain, I brought
somebody to see you.

Harold Helman.

Snake?

Harold?

How you been, Harold?

It's been a long time.

You never told me you knew
Snake Plissken, Brain.

Isn't that great?
Hey, Brain, I could

use some gas if
you could spare some.

I'm glad you remember me.

Yeah.

A man should
remember his past.

Kansas City, four years ago,
you ran out on me.

You left me sitting there.

You were late.

We were buddies, Harold.

You, me and Fresno Bob.

You know what
they did to Bob?

You wanna see him sprayed
all over that map, baby?

Where's the President?

I swear to God,
Snake, I don't know!

Don't fuck with me.

Why do you wanna know?

I want him.

Working for the man now, huh?

I'll just beat it
out of your squeeze.

Mmm-hmm. Maggie doesn't know
exactly where he is

and unless you know
exactly, precisely

where he is,
you'll never find him.

Listen, I'll take
you out of here. Yeah.

Jet glider just a couple of
blocks down the street.

And all you gotta
do is get me to him.

No kidding?
On the level?

Hey, will you take me, too?

We got a deal somewhere else.

No glider.

We've got the President and the Duke's
taking everybody out of here.

Never happen, baby.

You see, I know something
you and the Duke don't know.

Only got so long before Mr. President
doesn't mean a whole lot.

You're lying.

Maybe he's not.

I know him.
Look at his face, he's lying!

Right, Harold. I'm lying.

So I might as well have some fun
and keep looking by myself.

- Brain.
- Talk to him, baby.

Brain, he'll kill us both
if you don't tell him!

Brain, you gotta tell him!

All right, all right!

You always were
smart, Harold.

Just one thing right now.

Don't call me Harold.

So you work for
this Duke, huh?

Yeah. I make gas for him,
figure out things for him.

Like what?

Like how to get across
the 69th Street Bridge.

It's mined, but I know where they're planted.

We got a diagram from a guy
that got all the way across

before they shot
the poor bastard.

Mmm-hmm.
We got a crew up there now

clearing away
the first barricade.

Oh, what a sight, Snake!

The whole camp rolling
right across the bridge

and the President
right out in front.

Oh, that would have
been so fine.

Yeah, it would've been.

Yeah, well,
we're going with Snake now.

That's the Duke.

I know the sound
of his engines.

Don't cross the Duke.

Everybody knows that.

Cabbie, you slime!

No, Brain.
Get out of here.

He's looking for you, Brain.

What does he want?

He wants my
diagram of the bridge.

When he finds out I'm with you,
he's gonna want my life.

Shit, Plissken, I knew
I shouldn't have listened...

We gotta get to the
President now while he's busy.

Forget it. He's on
the other side of town

and we got no wheels.
The deal is off.

Just calm down.

I think they saw us.
Turn left.

Turn left here.

Brain, this is Broadway.

I know. I know.
The Duke'll take

7th Avenue.
Broadway's got five minutes...

No!

Yes. Keep driving.

What's wrong with Broadway?

Come on, sweetheart.

Come on, Brain.

Maggie!

Hold on.

He's in the third car from the end
by the last campfire.

It's all right. He's
gotta go in the front way.

It'll take him five minutes.

If you're not back to the car in
four minutes, you're on your own.

When we get there, Harold,
you just keep talking.

Hi, guys.

Hi. How's it going?

Cooled off a little, huh?

What do you want, Brain?

The Duke told us
to wait inside.

He's on his way here now.

He didn't say
nothing to us about it.

Well, you can't
expect him to tell

everybody in the joint,
now can you?

That's why he's the Duke.

Why don't we wait
outside here for him?

Well, why don't we
wait inside for him?

Because I got orders,
that's why.

Well, what are your specific orders,
by the way?

Specific orders, Brain,
was for me not to let no one go inside.

How's the President
holding up by the way?

Any political discussions
you've had with him?

That Brain is
a real pain in the ass.

He's always sniffing
around like a dog.

He comes up with the gas.

What are you looking at?

Are you from the outside?

- Stop shaking.
- I can't.

Who are you?

Hauk sent me in.

- We've gotta move fast.
- Move fast?

You're goddamn
right I'll move fast.

Keep quiet. Keep moving.

They got him.

Watch it.

Friend of yours, Brain?

He had a gun on me, Duke.
There was nothing I could do.

Maggie.

Who are you?

I said, who are you?

Snake Plissken, Duke.

The Man sent him in here.

Something's going down.
We need him.

Snake Plissken.

I've heard of you.

I heard you were dead.

This is Surveillance 4
to Security Control.

Nothing on
the infrared body scan.

Nothing in the searchlight.

There aren't any
fires on the street.

Nobody moving down there.

Surveillance 5
to Security Control.

Negative on
infrared body scan.

No movement in
the searchlights.

Something strange
going on down there.

- We've got to go in now.
- We hold.

You're countermanding
my orders, Hauk.

This is my prison.
I'll give the orders.

I override all that.

Just try.

Surveillance 10.

Still negative on the scans.

This is Surveillance 4
to Security Control.

Nothing on
the infrared body scan.

Make another sweep.

Surveillance 10,
still negative on the scans.

Surveillance 5, negative.

The whole prison
looks deserted.

There's nothing
moving anywhere.

Still circling.

This is Surveillance 4
to Security Control.

Nothing on the infrared body scan.
Still negative on...

Don't move, Snake.

I want that diagram, Brain.

It's at my place, Duke.

Duke, that Plissken said
something about a time limit.

What time limit?

On him.

That's a lot of crap.

What did I teach you?

You are Duke of New York.

You are A-number-one.

I can't hear you.

You...

You are the Duke of New York!

You are A-number-one!

Get me the diagram.

Duke, don't kill Plissken.
We need him.

Get moving, Brain.

People down
below in the park.

Can you see them?

Surveillance 10 to Security Control,
are you getting that readout,

that pulse there
on the infrared?

We have a visual
sighting on it.

It's a crowd of
prisoners in Central Park.

They're waving at us.

Signaling us from
the food-drop area.

They're waving us down.

I still can't figure out

whether that son of a bitch Plissken
was telling the truth or not.

God, I hate that guy.

He got in somehow.

Yeah. Yeah, but how?

You gotta land
a glider and take off.

You can't do it in Central Park,
there's too many trees.

Port Authority is
too low to the ground,

unless it was
someplace high up.

The World Trade Center,
that's it.

Here we go,
the World Trade Center

and it's gonna be
a hell of a lot easier

for me to take off
than it was for him to land.

"Amnesty for all prisoners
in New York City in exchange for President.

69th Street Bridge, tomorrow, 12:00 noon.
No bullshit or he's dead."

Where's the tape?

Not here.

They're Plissken's.

So much for your man, Hauk.

Warm up the choppers.
We're moving in.

Plissken?

Come on, get up.

They sent in their best man

and when we roll down the 69th Street Bridge
tomorrow on our way to freedom,

we're gonna have
their best man leading the way

from the neck up.

On the hood of my car!

Let's do it!

Romero. Where did
you get the hat?

Got it from Cabbie.

Oh, yeah?

Traded him.

For what?

What are you so
nervous about?

I gotta see the President.

- Who says?
- The Duke.

No, he doesn't.

Well, I'll have to
tell him you said that.

Wait a minute.

Why?

He's got something
hidden in his clothing

and the Duke wants it.
- What?

- I'll show you.
- You'll tell me.

Cyanide capsules.

The Duke don't
want a dead president.

Gentlemen.

Mr. President.

Cyanide?

Yeah. He might try
to take it tomorrow.

That's a bunch of bullshit.

You're not supposed
to be in here, Brain.

Snake, Snake!

Tracer activated at

1 hour, 35 minutes, 27 seconds.

Hauk!

Listen! Listen!

Listen!

The President's gone!

Brain took him!

Hauk! Plissken's tracer!

Get on the radio.
Keep them down.

Nobody move.

He's approaching
the World Trade Center.

I knew that son of
a bitch was alive.

He's inside.

It's gone.

The signal only
lasts for 15 minutes.

Download the choppers.
We're in standby situation.

Anybody could have
pushed that button.

Only Plissken knew
there was a safety catch.

Now, we'll give him a little more time,
just to make sure.

Goddamn redskins!

They're savages,
Mr. President.

Listen, Snake, I swear to God
I thought you were dead.

Yeah, you
and everybody else.

That your car
in the lobby?

- Yeah.
- Keys, quick.

- Quick, diagram of the bridge.
- Okay.

I'm the only one who knows
how to read that, Snake.

Stay out of my way, Harold.

Besides, you can't read and
drive at the same time. You need us!

You shouldn't have double-crossed
me again, Brain. Come on, let's go.

- They sawed it off.
- The tape?

Gone, I don't know where.

I do.

I swear to God, Snake,
I know where it is.

Just take us to the car.

I'll take you right to it.

Shit.

Shit, shit.

Don't talk. Breathe.

I'm trying.

Come on, come on!
We're wasting time.

What's wrong?

It's dead, Harold.

What?

Here, take this.

Car trouble?

Hi, Duke.

This whole deal of
yours is over, Snake.

You and Brain just say
goodbye to each other.

Go, go!

There are three mines right here.
Then you go a few blocks...

- They're behind us.
- And then there's three more...

They come
in groups of threes.

Where's the tape, Brain?

- What tape?
- Where is it?

The tape from the briefcase!

Oh, that tape. Here it is.

You traded Romero your hat?

How did you know?

See? See?

The discovery that tritium

creates only
one one-millionth

of the biological
damage of iodine...

Here, give me that tape.

Not just yet.

Easy, easy.

Go for it, Snake!

You gotta slow
down a little, Snake.

I think there are
three mines ahead, Snake.

You think?

Stay left.
Stay left, stay left

and then jog
right when I tell you.

You're pushing
her too hard, Snake.

Okay, okay, now!

I said jog right,
you asshole.

Stay to the right.
Stay to the right.

Left, left!

No, hold it! Left!

Left, damn it!

Brain?

Keep moving.

Maggie.

He's dead.

Come on.

Station 19, they spotted two cars
on the 69th Street Bridge.

- Is it Plissken?
- A taxicab and a Cadillac.

The taxi hit a mine.
There's four people on foot.

Fourteen minutes.

Get a jeep with
a winch over there, fast.

Cronenberg,
get over to Station 19.

They're coming
across the bridge.

This is Rehme. Security Control,
we have a standby situation.

Repeat, we are
on standby footing.

All helicopters, down.

Wall guards,
do not fire on prisoners.

Repeat,
do not fire on prisoners.

All vehicles, stand by.

all vehicles stand by.

You're A-number-one!

You're the Duke!
You're the Duke!

You're the Duke.

You're A-number-one.

The tape, Plissken.

That's it.

I've radioed ahead,
Mr. President.

They know the situation.

They're waiting
for your broadcast.

Yeah.

Hold it.

Oh, it's all right.

I wanna thank you.

Anything you want,
you just name it.

Just a moment of your time.

Three minutes, sir.

Yes?

We did get you out.

A lot of people
died in the process.

I just wondered how
you felt about it.

Well, I...

I wanna thank them.

This nation
appreciates their sacrifice.

Look, I'm on the air
in two and a half minutes?

Yes, sir.

You gonna kill me now, Snake?

I'm too tired.

Maybe later.

I've got another
deal for you.

I want you to think it over
while you're resting.

I wanna give you a job.

We'd make one hell
of a team, Snake.

The name's Plissken.

You're on camera,
Mr. President.

Good evening.

Although I shall
not be present

at this historic
summit meeting,

I present this in the hope

that our great nations
may learn to live in peace.
