Escape From New York (1981)

A striking original UK quad for John Carpenter’s Escape from New York (1981), featuring Kurt Russell in his iconic role as Snake Plissken. Set in a dystopian near-future where Manhattan has become a maximum-security prison, the film blends gritty sci-fi with stark urban paranoia, captured perfectly by the bold, atmospheric artwork. Released at a time of Cold War tension and rising fears about crime and authority, Escape from New York challenged expectations of the traditional action hero and reflected a growing mistrust of institutions. Hugely influential on both cinema and pop culture, this UK quad remains a highly collectible poster from one of Carpenter’s most defining films.
