Set four years before Snake Plissken arrives on the scene, a party of unwilling prisoners must disarm a nuclear bomb hidden in the head of the Statue of Liberty before their time runs out.

In 1988, the crime rate in the United States rose by more than 400 percent. New York City, the site of a massive nerve gas attack by the Soviet Union, is transformed into a maximum-security prison, covering all the incarceration requirements of the United States. Sealed off from the world by a 50-foot containment wall, it is a society in and of itself. Once you go in, you never come back. 

As a final security measure, a nuclear bomb has been installed in the head of the Statue of Liberty. While its existence is a closely guarded secret, the revolutionary NLFA have obtained the president’s nuclear arming device and are threatening to detonate the bomb unless their demands are met. 

The year is now 1993: your mission is to recover the arming device and codes before all of New York is reduced to radioactive rubble. Will you avoid the dangerous criminals, navigate the deadly pitfalls of the city, and rescue New York in time?

Travel through the dystopian landscape of Escape from New York—and stop a nuclear bomb from detonating and destroying the city.
