John Carpenter's 'Escape from New York' Collector's Edition Blu-ray Supplements Detailed

Snake Plissken will be back on Blu-ray sporting a brand new transfer in April. It's up for pre-order right now!

As previously reported, Scream Factory is prepping 'Escape from New York: Collector's Edition' for Blu-ray on April 21.

Kurt Russell ('Stargate') stars in a high-velocity sci-fi action-thriller from director John Carpenter (co-written by Nick Castle) that sets the screen ablaze with heart-stopping suspense, outrageous stunts and imaginative special effects. Bristling with riveting chases and hard-hitting fight sequences, Escape From New York is your passport to nonstop excitement!

In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a prison which houses the world's most brutal inmates. And when the President of the United States (Donald Pleasence) crash lands inside, only one man can bring him back: Snake Plissken (Russell), a notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero who, in exchange for a full pardon, descends into the decayed city and wages a blistering war against the captors. But time is short: in 24 hours, an explosive charge planted inside Snake's body will end the mission - and his life - unless he succeeds!
