Review By qwerty "Escape from LA"
Starring: Kurt Russel
Escape from LA, the sequel film to Escape from New York, improves much on the original. Snake Plissken (a hard as nail gun slinger) is captured and forced to complete an urgent mission for the oppressive US government. This mission takes Snake the penal colony of LA, where he must: find a “briefcase”, rescue the president's daughter, and escape before a deadly virus kills him.
