It co-stars Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs) and Pam Grier (Jackie Brown).

Story
A month is 2013. In the season 2000, a vast earthquake hits Los Angeles (from a mainland) which stimulates a whole city to exist as at present placed in an island. Therein season, a fresh life-term America President (Cliff Robertson), an out-spoken moralist, declares that all humans non conforming to the high lesson he sets for the united states is deported to the Los Angeles island. Prefer New York, a wall is built, guards posted to prevent any escapes & whenever sent there - that you may't go to to the U.s.a.. Around 2013, Cuervo Jones (Georges Corraface), a terrorist, invades a dreams of the President's girl, Utopia (A.J. Langer), and brainwashes her into stealing a doomsday device from a weapons establishment and runs with Cuervo to the island. Snake Plissken, hero of Escape From New York, is forced again to return a island for a device per President (world health organization doesn't care in case Utopithe is restored or even non) & he is contaminated by using a human-synthetic virus to assure his co-operation. Prefer New York, Los Angeles is now a decaying city, a hot-bed of scum & weirdos & Snake has Niner hours to locate the device & Utopia, & develop out prior to the poison kicks inside. In the prevent, the virus is non really occasionally fatal virus; it was 100% a bluff and so Snake would cooperate. Snake Plissken gets ahold of the rattling doomsday device remote.
