A dozen strangers wake up in an unfamiliar clearing, with no recollection of how they arrived there. As they struggle to make sense of their surroundings, they soon realize they've become pawns in a twisted game orchestrated by a group of wealthy and ruthless elitists. They've all gathered at a secluded location to engage in a classical pastime, at least for them: hunting humans for sport. The tables soon turn, however, as one of the hunted decides to fight back against those who would have her head.

Manhattan has been transformed into a maximum-security prison in a far-off dystopian future. The country's most dangerous criminals are left to fend for themselves. When the President of the United States (Donald Pleasence) finds himself trapped on the island after Air Force One is hijacked and crashes, the government turns to their last resort to make things right again: a former special forces soldier turned convicted felon named Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell). His mission? Infiltrate the prison, rescue the president, and retrieve a cassette tape in 24 hours in exchange for a full pardon. He may very well succeed — if he can square off against the Duke (Isaac Hayes).

This biopic is chock-full of gorgeous action sequences and Yen channels the grandmaster in the most respectful way possible.
