Escape from New York 1981

As a result of the rising crime rate in 1997, New York, surrounded by walls and barbed wire, turned into a giant open-air prison isolated from the rest of the United States. Those who try to escape are shot, and the most inconceivable criminals are thrown there and condemned to an anarchic and brutal life. Bridges connecting Manhattan to the mainland were blown up and mined. In such an environment, the US President's plane is hijacked by Air Force 1 terrorists and the President crashes into New York with an escape capsule. Snake (Snake) Pliskin, a former soldier and now a headstrong killer, is forced to make a deal to save him. An explosive device will be placed on Snake's arm that will explode in 24 hours, and will be sent to New York to find and deliver the president. Snake's life will also be spared if he returns in time to complete this impossible mission.
