Escape From Earth was John Carpenter's planned third Snake Plissken movie starring Kurt Russell but it was doomed before it even started. Snake made his debut in the cult 1981 sci-fi Escape From New York which served as Russell's breakthrough as an action star. It saw his outlaw character forced to infiltrate New York — which had been turned into a prison in the movie's bleak future — to rescue the kidnapped President. Russell's love for the character and the movie's delayed popularity led to a belated sequel, Escape From L.A. The duo also planned a third entry, Escape From Earth.
