A massive earthquake causes a segment of Los Angeles to break off and become an island, leading to the city's conversion into a maximum-security penal colony.
Snake Plissken is sent into the penal colony island of Los Angeles to retrieve a powerful sword capable of controlling the United States' defense satellites.
Snake navigates the dangerous terrain and encounters a tribe of mutants living on the island, who pose serious threats to his mission.
After overcoming multiple obstacles and enemies, Snake successfully obtains the sword from the antagonist who intends to use it for evil purposes.
