Escape from New York

Snake Plissken

Snake Plissken

Renown war-hero-turned-criminal Snake Plissken was caught robbing a federal reserve in Denver, Colorado in the dystopian future of 1997. Snake was sentenced to life in prison and was shipped to the maximum security island of New York, where he was offered a deal. Rescue the President of the United States, who had crashed in the prison, within 24 hours, and he would be given total amnesty. Snake followed through on his end of the bargain, returning the president to the US Police Force, but switched a tape containing valuable information with a decoy, causing the president to lose face in front of leaders of foreign nations. This caused the USPF to renew their search for Plissken, who evaded them for 16 years before finally being arrested in Las Vegas Thailand for gun-fighting for entertainment and deported to the island nation of Los Angeles, cut off from the new Theocratic United States by a massive earthquake and subsequent flooding. Again offered a deal, Snake retrieved a box containing the activation switch for a series of EMP satellites positioned around the globe. However, instead of giving the device to the new President, Snake activated it himself, destroying all technology across the world. Note that for the entirety of Escape from LA Snake is under the effects of a potent case of the flu.
