Escape From New York

4k Restoration screenings!

In 1997, when the U.S. president crashes into Manhattan, now a giant maximum security prison, a convicted bank robber is sent in to rescue him.

Academy of Science-Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films: Best Science-Fiction Film, Director, Costumes, Make-Up nominee!

4/4 Stars! “stands on its own merits and achieves something unique…great cinema…This film represents a filmmaker in his prime…a clever satire” (Deep Focus Review)

5 Stars! “It feels perfectly positioned between Hollywood’s ’70s-era political cynicism and the dawning age of the blockbuster. The movie proudly wears its affection for crusty Sergio Leone archetypes and countdown-clock suspense sequences; Carpenter was Tarantino long before Tarantino was.” (Time Out)

Grade A! “Escape from New York is Bad-Ass John Carpenter in full effect, and its influence cannot be overstated” (Movie Vault)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
