Into the 9.6-quaked Los Angeles of 2013 comes Snake Plissken. His job: wade through L.A.'s ruined landmarks to retrieve a doomsday device.

VIBE

This is a wild, frenetic ride through a truly unhinged dystopian future. It feels like a gleefully cynical, action-heavy B-movie with a distinct 90s edge. Expect chaotic set pieces, a reluctant anti-hero, and a pervasive sense of anarchic fun amidst the gritty, post-apocalyptic chaos.
