IMDB

Kurt Russell reprises his role as Snake Plissken and this time escapes from the titular L.A. He is injected with a virus and has to kill the president's daughter and get back a remote that can turn off the world's power.
This movie plays out like a bigger budgeted remake more than an actual sequel. If you watch the movies back to back or are extremely familiar with Escape from New York, then it may be hard to watch this. I have seen Escape from New York several times, but haven't watched it for at least a year and I liked Escape from L.A. this time around.
