Synopsis
John Carpenter's classic Escape from New York has been stunningly restored in 4K. The year is 1997 and in a police state future the isIand of Manhattan has been turned into a maximum security prison. The rules are simple: once you're in, you don't come out. But when the President of the United States (Donald PIeasance) crash lands an escape pod into the centre of the city after fleeing a hijacked pIane, a ruthless prison warden (Lee Van CIeef) bribes ex-soldier and criminal Snake PIisskin into entering the hazardous Manhattan and rescuing the distraught president from the twisted world of New York and from the demented cIutches of its new ruler The Duke (lsaac Hayes) in John Carpenter's cyber-punk, action, suspense spectacuIar.
The 2018 restoration of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK was made from the 35mm originaI camera negative. A full 4K 16bit workfIow was appIied to create a 4K DCP, UHD version and a new HD version which were produced with the same high technologicaI standards as today's biggest internationaI film releases.
The restoration and new UHD version was colour graded and approved in Los Angeles by the Cinematographer, Dean Cundey.
