In 1997 is New York omgevormd tot een maximum security gevangenis. Nadat het presidentiële vliegtuig boven de stad door criminelen is neergehaald, krijgt de cynische bankrover Snake Plissken een aanbod. De president redden uit handen van de bendes in ruil voor zijn vrijheid.
Nee, helaas is Escape from New York nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
