Since this movie is set in 2013...


Does anyone know what the time and setting of the movie is? What month, day, and weekday it's set? Like Sunday to Saturday or Monday to Friday? The reason why I'm asking is because today is the start of 2013, so now sometime this year I must watch this movie since I just started the year off with watching Escape from New York.

Well, it's set on a Friday night and sometime during the winter months. Probably either October or November since that's the standard.

So, it's on a Friday night, but sometime in October or November? I see. But I still need more information on it, please.

reply

I'm sorry but I'm afraid that's all the information there is. And October or November was basically just a wild guess, I just think it's most likely.

But it pleases me to see you're so interested in this movie.

I enjoy movies like this, I love this movie. And Snake Plissken is one of my all-time favorite heroes.

The Postman starring Kevin Costner is also set in 2013.

The Postman is one of my favorite films. I've got it on DVD along with Escape From L.A.

An EMP proof space shuttle is the only way Snake Plissken can escape from Earth, since he shut down all the electricity and power on the Earth. How else will he escape?
