[Michael L Ray]

LTATM meetings at the Del Mar Theatre are indefinitely suspended. Please join us online via Zoom video conferencing software (details below) where this week we'll be discussing a film streaming on Kanopy (anyone with a library card can join Kanopy for free and stream six to twelve movies a month). 

On Wednesday, April 16 at 7pm we will be discussing the Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi - Escape from New York (1981). In the future, crime is out of control and New York City's Manhattan is a maximum security prison. Grabbing a bargaining chip right out of the air, convicts bring down the President's plane in bad old Gotham. Gruff Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), a one-eyed lone warrior new to prison life, is coerced into bringing the President (Donald Pleasance), and his cargo, out of this land of undesirables. 86% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes:
