Escape from New York by Movie Poster (1981)

This is the original theatrical one-sheet poster for John Carpenter's 1981 film 'Escape from New York'. The artwork depicts a dystopian future in which Manhattan Island has been converted into a walled maximum security prison. In the foreground, the fallen head of the Statue of Liberty lies in the street, while a group of characters, including the protagonist Snake Plissken, run through the ruins. The tagline above reads '1997. New York City is a walled maximum security prison. Breaking out is impossible. Breaking in is insane.' The film stars Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, and Adrienne Barbeau. The poster was released by Avco Embassy Pictures.
