If you loved They Live, try Escape from New York
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Carpenter, and they sit in Action / Science Fiction / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to They Live, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Escape from New York is
Manhattan island, a dark future, a surveillance helicopter overhead. A walled prison, inmates roaming, the president stranded inside. Carpenter directs with a keen sense of pulp efficiency.
