This is my favourite Action movie.

Kurt Russel plays a convicted felon sentanced to a Devil's Island-style prison created out of the ruins of Manhattan.

Donald Pleasance, as the President of the US, crashes into the prison and is captured by Issac Hayes, the Duke of New York.

Lee Van Cliff, the prison Warden, sends Russel in to recover the president and a tape of nuclear secrets he is carrying.

Geek that i am, i ran a role-playing campaign in this setting for 5 years. Fun, Fun, Fun.
