Filmmaker John Carpenter, along with frequent collaborator, Alan Howarth, teamed up to write the music for the 1981 film, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.

The year is 1997: Manhattan Island is now a heavily guarded maximum-security prison, where the scum of the earth have converged. When Air Force One crash-lands in Manhattan, the President (Donald Pleasence) is held hostage by its denizens. One-eyed mercenary Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) is strong-armed into rescuing the Chief Executive. He is aided, not always willingly, by a tough gal (Adrienne Barbeau) and a manic cab driver (Ernest Borgnine). Too long for its own good (especially in its expanded video version), "Escape from New York" is an otherwise excellent chunk of non-think entertainment. It was followed by a sequel of sorts in 1996, "Escape From LA," again starring Kurt Russell. 1981
