The story takes place in a hypothetical year 1997. Due to the rise in crime in the United States, which increases by more than 400%, the authorities decide to transform Manhattan into a mega-prison, to which the A large number of criminals from all over the United States. The prison is surrounded by a huge wall and constantly monitored by the police, who are equipped with military weapons for protection. The prisoners have built their own society based on barbarism, power, and authority, but they always have the desire to escape, which is always prevented by the police.
It is at this moment that a group of terrorists hijacks Air Force One and crashes it into the city with the intention of killing the president, but they do not succeed, as the president manages to escape in time in an escape pod. However, the capsule containing the President lands in Manhattan, falling into the hands of the prisoners, who do not hesitate to bargain for their lives in exchange for military custody to let them escape and return to the United States.
In this crisis, where conventional action would lead to the death of the most powerful man in the world, the warden of this prison finds the solution in the person of Snake Plissken, a World War III veteran believed to be dead, who is hiding and fleeing justice. Recently arrested for robbing a Federal Reserve bank, he is brought before the warden to demand a ransom from the President in exchange for a pardon for all his violations of the law. Snake Plissken accepts the deal, but to ensure his loyalty, a microscopic mechanism is installed in his artery without his consent, which would explode after 24 hours, to keep him under control during his rescue mission. The deadline is only 24 hours because the President is very important for an international conference.
Driven by circumstances, Snake does everything he can to save the President in time and succeeds, but only just. He becomes a free man, but, unbeknownst to them, he takes revenge for what happened and the President’s arrogant behavior regarding his rescue, by destroying a very important tape he was supposed to present at the conference and replacing it with an identical tape containing music.
