Escape From New York4

One thing's certain about John Carpenter: when he's making a future vision, you can bet your cowboy hat it'll come packed with a passion for myth and movies past. In his commentary with a disarmingly giggly Kurt Russell, he describes his slow-burning 1981 film as "an odyssey", pitching Snake Plissken's journey through a then-future, 1997 Manhattan's underbelly as a classical quest narrative.
